In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual readiness or preparedness, particularly in the context of the Christian life and spiritual warfare.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, preparation was a valued concept, especially in military and athletic contexts. Soldiers needed to be prepared for battle, and athletes for competition. This cultural understanding of readiness is reflected in the New Testament's use of "hetoimasia" to describe spiritual preparedness, emphasizing the importance of being ready to face spiritual challenges and to live out one's faith.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2091</b> <i>hetoimasía</i> – preparation. <a href="/greek/2092.htm">See 2092</a> (<i>hetoimos</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/2090.htm">hetoimazó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>preparation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>preparation (1).<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 2091: ἑτοιμασία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἑτοιμασία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἑτοιμασίας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἑτοιμάζω</span>), cf. <span class="greek2">θαυμάσια</span>, <span class="greek2">εἰκασία</span>, <span class="greek2">ἐργασία</span>);
