Strong's G2309 (Greek)

Greek: θέλω (thélō)

Pronunciation: thel'-o

Derivation: apparently strengthened from the alternate form of G138

Definition: to determine (as an active option from subjective impulse; whereas 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

KJV Renderings: desire, be disposed (forward), intend, list, love, mean, please, have rather, (be) will (have, -ling, - ling(-ly))
