Exegesis
The middle/passive imperative ginesthe {γίνεσθε | gi-nes-the} ‘become’ conveys a continuous command, with the predicate adjective hetoimoi {ἕτοιμοι | he-toi-moi} ‘ready’ specifying the desired state.
In context — Matthew 24:44
Because of this, you also must be ready, for at an hour when you do not expect, the Son of Man is coming .
