ἀπαρα-σκεύαστος G0532
unprepared, not ready; lacking proper preparation or equipment
This adjective describes someone who has not made necessary preparations or who lacks proper readiness. In military contexts it could mean troops without equipment; in general usage, people caught off guard. Paul uses it in 2 Corinthians 9:4 regarding the Corinthians' collection for Jerusalem: if some Macedonians accompany him and find the Corinthians 'unprepared,' both Paul and the Corinthians would be humiliated. The context emphasizes practical readiness—having the promised collection actually gathered, not just intended.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Paul's concern about finding the Corinthians unprepared reflects pastoral pragmatism: it's one thing to promise generosity, another to have the funds ready when needed. Spanish 'no preparados,' German 'unvorbereitet,' and English 'unprepared' all capture the lack of readiness. French 'non-préparé' similarly emphasizes the deficit. The situation Paul anticipates isn't theological unreadiness but practical unpreparedness—failing to do what they said they would do. 1×
