2 Corinthians 10:6
Being in readiness ( εν ετοιμω εχοντες ). This very idiom occurs in Polybius, Philo, etc. "Holding in readiness." In 12:14 we have ετοιμως εχω for the same idea (adverb ετοιμως ).Disobedience ( παρακοην ). Rare word (Plato, papyri) hearing amiss (aside), failing to hear, refusing to heed (cf. Mt 18:17 for same idea in παρακουω ). In N.T. only here; Ro 5:19; Heb 2:2. In contrast with υπακοη (obedience) rather than the common απειθια (Ro 11:30, 32).
When your obedience shall be fulfilled ( οταν πληρωθη υμων η υπακοη ). Indefinite temporal clause with οταν and first aorist passive subjunctive. Paul expects that the whole church will become obedient to Christ's will soon as came true.
