It describes a proactive attitude, often in the context of being prepared to act or respond positively. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a disposition that is enthusiastic and ready to serve or obey.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, virtues such as eagerness and readiness were highly valued, especially in the context of service and duty. The concept of being "prothumos" would have been understood as a commendable trait, reflecting a person's dedication and commitment. In the early Christian community, this attitude was particularly important as believers were called to serve one another and spread the Gospel with zeal.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 4289</b> <i>próthymos</i> (from <a href="/greek/4253.htm">4253</a> <i>/pró</i>, "before" and <a href="/greek/2372.htm">2372</a> <i>/thymós</i>, "passion") – properly, pre-disposed (positively inclined); enthusiastically willing; eager, "ready-to-go"; free, not weighed down by pre-existing (pre-set) objections or resistance; hence, <i>willing</i>, spontaneously generous, etc. <a href="/greek/4288.htm">See 4288</a> (<i>prothymia</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4253.htm">pro</a> and <a href="/greek/2372.htm">thumos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>willing, ready<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>eager (1), willing (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4289: πρόθυμος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πρόθυμος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πρόθυμον</span> (<span class="greek2">πρό</span> and <span class="greek2">θυμός</span>), from (<span class="abbreviation">Sophocles</span> and) <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down, <span class="accented">ready, willing</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/26-41.htm">Matthew 26:41</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/14-38.htm">Mark 14:38</a>; neuter <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">πρόθυμον</span>, equivalent to <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">προθυμία</span>: <a href="/interlinear/romans/1-15.htm">Romans 1:15</a>, as in <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> 3, 82; <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, legg. 9, p. 859 b.; <span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, Med. verse 178; <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, Antiquities 4, 8, 13; <span class="abbreviation">Herodian</span>, 8, 3, 15 (6 edition, Bekker) (on which cf.
