'Be Ready' in the Bible

Be ready then; for at a time which you have no thought of the Son of man will come.

Be ready, dressed as for a journey, with your lights burning.

So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.

But I have sent the brothers, so that the good things we said about you may be seen to be true, and that, as I said, you may be ready:

Be ready with the good news of peace as shoes on your feet;

Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus.

Make clear to them that they are to put themselves under rulers and authorities, to do what they are ordered, to be ready for every good work,

But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride;

For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith.
