'Readiness' in the Bible

At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in the matter.

and not only so, but is also chosen by the assemblies as our fellow-traveller with this grace, ministered by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and a witness of our readiness;

And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
