Strong’s G2309 · Greek

θέλω

thélō · thel'-o

Origin apparently strengthened from the alternate form of αἱρέομαι (G138);

Meaning to determine (as an active option from subjective impulse; whereas βούλομαι (G1014) properly denotes rather a passive acquiescence in objective considerations), i.e. choose or prefer (literally or figuratively); by implication, to wish, i.e. be inclined to (sometimes adverbially, gladly); impersonally for the future tense, to be about to; by Hebraism, to delight in

In the King James Version desire, be disposed (forward), intend, list, love, mean, please, have rather, (be) will (have, -ling, - ling(-ly)).
