"prepared, ready" (akin to hetoimasia, "preparation"), is used

(a) of persons, Mat 24:44; 25:10; Luk 12:40; 22:33; Act 23:15, 21 (for 2Cr 10:6, see above); Tts 3:1; 1Pe 3:15;

"predisposed, willing" (akin to prothumia, see READINESS), is translated "ready" in Rom 1:15, expressive of willingness, eagerness: in Mar 14:38, RV, "willing" (AV, "ready"); in Mat 26:41. "willing."
See WILLING.

B-1 Verb Strong's Number: g3195 Greek: mello

Ready:

"to be about to," is translated "to be ready" in 2Pe 1:12, RV, where the future indicates that the Apostle will be prepared, as in the past and the present, to remind his readers of the truths they know (some mss. have ouk ameleso, "I will not be negligent," AV; cp., however, ver. 15. Field, in Notes on the Translation of the NT, suggests that the true reading is meleso, the future of melo, "to be a care, or an object of care"); in Rev 3:2, RV, "were ready" (some texts have the present tense, as in the AV). Elsewhere, where the AV has the rendering to be ready, the RV gives renderings in accordance with the usual significance as follows: Luk 7:2, "was... at the point of;" Act 20:7, "intending;" Rev 12:4, "about (to)."
