G2309–θέλω–thelō

Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.

ἠθελήσαμεν ēthelēsamen “we wanted”

But after two years Porcius Festus came as successor to Felix: and Felix willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

θέλων thelōn “wishing”

But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these things before me?

θέλων thelōn “wishing”θέλεις theleis “Are you willing”

Who knew me from the beginning, (if they would testify) that after the strictest sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee.

θέλωσιν thelōsin “they may be willing”

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you (but have been hitherto hindered) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

θέλω thelō “I do want”

For that which I do, I allow not: for what I would, that I do not; but what I hate, that I do.

θέλω thelō “I want”

If then I do that which I would not, I consent to the law that it is good.

θέλω thelō “I do want”

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good, I find not.

θέλειν thelein “to wish [to do]”

For the good that I would, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.

θέλω thelō “I desire”θέλω thelō “I do want”

Now if I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

θέλω thelō “I do want”

I find then a law, that when I would do good, evil is present with me.

θέλοντι thelonti “is desiring”

So then, it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.

θέλοντος thelontos “willing”

Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

θέλει thelei “He wants”θέλει thelei “He wants”

What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

θέλων thelōn “desiring”

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, (lest ye should be wise in your own conceits) that blindness in part hath happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles shall be come in.

θέλω thelō “I want”

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power; do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:

θέλεις theleis “Do you desire”

For your obedience is come abroad to all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise to that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

θέλω thelō “I wish”

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them who are puffed up, but the power.

θελήσῃ, thelēsē “wishes,”

What will ye? shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

θέλετε; thelete “desire you?”

For I would that all men were as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that.

θέλω thelō “I wish”

But I would have you without anxious care. He that is unmarried, is anxious for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:

θέλω thelō “I desire”

But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself uncomely towards his virgin, if she hath passed the flower of her age, and need so requireth, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

θέλει thelei “he wills”

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband is dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

θέλει thelei “she wills”

Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

θέλω thelō “I want”

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with demons.

θέλω thelō “I do wish”
