And they are able to say, if they would give witness, that I was living as a Pharisee, in that division of our religion which is most regular in the keeping of the law.

θέλωσιν thelōsin “they may be willing”

You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.

θέλω thelō “I do want”

And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do.

But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good.

θέλω thelō “I do want”

For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.

θέλειν thelein “to wish [to do]”

For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do.

But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

θέλω thelō “I want”

For rulers are not a cause of fear to the good work but to the evil. If you would have no fear of the authority, do good and you will have praise;

θέλεις theleis “Do you desire”

For all have knowledge of how you do what you are ordered. For this reason I have joy in you, but it is my desire that you may be wise in what is good, and without knowledge of evil.

θέλω thelō “I wish”

But I will come to you in a short time, if it is pleasing to the Lord, and I will take note, not of the word of those who are full of pride, but of the power.

θελήσῃ, thelēsē “wishes,”

What is your desire? is my coming to be with punishment, or is it to be in love and a gentle spirit?

θέλει thelei “she wills”

For it is my desire, my brothers, that you may keep in mind how all our fathers were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea;

θέλω thelō “I want”

What I say is that the things offered by the Gentiles are offered to evil spirits and not to God; and it is not my desire for you to have any part with evil spirits.

θέλω thelō “I do wish”
