Forward (Be), Forwardness:

Notes:

(1) The verb thelo, "to will, wish," is translated "to be forward," in the AV of 2Cr 8:10, which the RV corrects to "to will."

(2) In Gal 2:10, spoudazo, "to be zealous," is so rendered in the RV (AV, "I was forward").

(3) In 2Cr 8:17, the corresponding adjective spoudaios, "earnest," is so rendered in the RV (AV, "forward"). So in ver. 8, the noun spoude, "earnestness," is thus rendered in the RV (AV, "forwardness").

(4) In 2Cr 9:2, RV, the noun prothumia, "readiness" (pro, "before," thumos, "impulse"), is so rendered (AV, "forwardness of mind").

(5) For the combination of this word with verbs see GO, PUT, SET, STRETCH.
