It can denote a simple wish or desire, a deliberate intention, or a determined will. It often reflects the inner inclination or purpose of a person, whether human or divine.Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of will and desire was significant in philosophical discussions about human nature and divine interaction. The New Testament usage of "theló" often contrasts human will with divine will, emphasizing the importance of aligning one's desires with God's purposes. This reflects a broader biblical theme of submission to God's sovereign will.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div>Cognate: 2309 thélō (a primitive verb, NAS dictionary) – to desire (wish, will), wanting what is best (optimal) because someone is ready and willing to act. <a href="/greek/2309.htm">2309</a> /thélō ("to desire, wish") is commonly used of the Lord extending His "best-offer" to the believer – wanting (desiring) to birth His persuasion (faith) in them which also empowers, manifests His presence etc. <a href="/greek/2307.htm">See 2307</a> (thelēma).[Note the close connection between faith (<a href="/greek/4102.htm">4102</a> /pístis, "God's inbirthed persuasion") and this root (thel-, <a href="/greek/2307.htm">2307</a> /thélēma); cf. 2 Cor 8:5-7 and Heb 10:36-39).]<iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div>Word Origin a prim. verb Definition to will, wish NASB Translation am...willing (1), am willing (3), delighting (1), delights (1), desire (14), desired (4), desires (4), desiring (2), intended (1), intending (1), like (3), maintain (1), mean (1), mean* (2), please (1), purposed (1), refused* (1), unwilling* (11), want (52), wanted (15), wanting (3), wants (8), will (5), willed (1), willing (15), wills (4), wish (24), wished (7), wishes (16), wishing (4), would (1).<div align="center"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div>STRONGS NT 2309: ἐθέλω ἐθέλω, see θέλω.

As respects the distinction between βούλομαι and θέλω, the former seems to designate the will which follows deliberation, the latter the will which proceeds from inclination. This appears not only from <a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-19.htm">Matthew 1:19</a>, but also from the fact that the Sept. express the idea of pleasure, delight, by the verb θέλειν (see just above). The reverse of this distinction is laid down by Alexander Buttmann (1873) Lexil. i., p. 26 (English translation, p. 194); Delitzsch on <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/6-17.htm">Hebrews 6:17</a>. According to Tittmann (Syn., i., p. 124) θέλειν denotes mere volition, βούλεσθαι inclination; (cf. Whiston on Demosthenes 9, 5; 124, 13). (Philip Buttmanns statement of the distinction between the two words is quoted with approval by Schmidt (Syn., iii., chapter 146), who adduces in confirmation (besides many examples) the assumed relationship between βούλομαι and Φελπις, ἐλπίς; the use of θέλω in the sense of 'resolve' in such passages as Thucydides 5, 9; of θέλων equivalent to ἡδέως in the poets; of βούλομαι as parallel to ἐπιθυμέω in Demosthenes 29, 45, etc.; and passages in which the two words occur together and βούλομαι is apparently equivalent to 'wish' while θέλω stands for 'will' as Xenophon, an. 4, 4, 5; Euripides, Alc. 281, etc., etc. At the same time it must be confessed that scholars are far from harmonious on the subject. Many agree with Prof. Grimm that θέλω gives prominence to the emotive element, βούλομαι emphasizes the rational and volitive; that θέλω signifies the choice, while βούλομαι marks the choice as deliberate and intelligent; yet they acknowledge that the words are sometimes used indiscriminately, and especially that θέλω as the less sharply-defined term is put where βούλομαι would be proper; see Ellendt, Lex. Sophocles; Pape, Handwörterb.; Seiler, Wörterb. d. Homer, under the word βούλομαι; Suhle und Schneidewin, Handwörterb.; Crosby, Lex. to Xenophon, an., under the word ἐθέλω; (Arnold's) Pillon, Greek Syn. § 129; Webster, Synt. and Syn. of the Greek Testament, p. 197; Wilke, Clavis N. T., edition 2, 2:603; Schleusner, N. T. Lex. see under the word, βούλομαι; Munthe, Observations, phil. in N. T. ex Diodorus Siculus, etc., p. 3; Valckenaer, Scholia etc. ii. 23; Westermann on Demosthenes 20, 111; the commentators generally on Matt. as above; Lightfoot on <a href="/interlinear/philemon/1-13.htm">Philemon 1:13, 14</a>; Riddle in Schaff's Lange on Eph., p. 42; this seems to be roughly intended by Ammonius also: βούλεσθαι μέν ἐπί μόνου λεκτεον τοῦ λογικου. τό δέ θέλειν καί ἐπί ἀλογου ζοωυ; (and Eustathius on Iliad 1, 112, p. 61, 2, says ὀυχ' ἁπλῶς θέλω, ἀλλά βούλομαι, ὅπερ ἐπίτασις τοῦ θέλειν ἐστιν). On the other hand, Liddell and Scott (under the word ἐθέλω); Passow, edition 5; Rost, Wörterb. edition 4; Schenkl, Schulwörterb.; Donaldson, Crat. § 463f; Wahl; Clay. Apocrypha, under the word βούλομαι; Cremer, under the words, βούλομαι and θέλω; especially Stallb. on Platos de repub. 4, 13, p. 437 b. (cf. too Cope on Aristotle, rhet. 2, 19, 19); Franke on Demosthenes 1, 1, substantially reverse the distinction, as does Ellicott on <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/5-14.htm">1 Timothy 5:14</a>; Wordsworth on <a href="/interlinear/1_thessalonians/2-18.htm">1 Thessalonians 2:18</a>. Although the latter opinion may seem to be favored by that view of the derivation of the words which allies βούλομαι with voluptas (Curtius, § 659, compare p. 726), and makes θέλω signify 'to hold to something,' 'form a fixed resolve' (see above, at the beginning), yet the predominant usage of the N. T. will be evident to one who looks up the passages referred to above (Fritzsche's explanation of <a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-19.htm">Matthew 1:19</a> is hardly natural); to which may be added such as <a href="/interlinear/matthew/2-18.htm">Matthew 2:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/9-13.htm">Matthew 9:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/12-38.htm">Matthew 12:38</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/15-28.htm">Matthew 15:28</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/17-4.htm">Matthew 17:4</a> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Matthew 20:21,32>); <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Matthew 26:15,39> (cf. <a href="/interlinear/luke/22-42.htm">Luke 22:42</a>); <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-19.htm">Mark 6:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/7-24.htm">Mark 7:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/9-30.htm">Mark 9:30</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/10-35.htm">Mark 10:35</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/12-38.htm">Mark 12:38</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-9.htm">Mark 15:9</a> (cf. <a href="/interlinear/john/18-39.htm">John 18:39</a>), <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-15.htm">Mark 15:15</a> (where R.

T. about five times as often as βούλομαι (on the relative use of the words in classic writers see Tycho Mommsen in Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 415f). The usage of the Sept. (beyond the particular specified by Prof. Grimm) seems to afford little light; see e. g. <a href="/interlinear/genesis/24-5.htm">Genesis 24:5, 8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/25-7.htm">Deuteronomy 25:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/39-7.htm">Psalm 39:7, 9</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 40:7,9>), etc. In modern Greek θέλω seems to have nearly driven βούλομαι out of use; on θέλω as an auxiliary cf. Jebb in Vincent and Dickson's Handbook, Appendix §§ 60, 64. For examples of the associated use of the words in classic Greek, see Stephanus' Thesaurus under the word βούλομαι, p. 366 d.; Lightfoot, Cremer, and especially Schmidt, as above.) <iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>desire, be disposed toward, intendThel'-o or thel'-o or in certain tenses theleo thel-eh'-o, and etheleo eth-el-eh'-o, which are otherwise obsolete; apparently strengthened from the alternate form of <a href="/greek/138.htm">haireomai</a>; to determine (as an active option from subjective impulse; whereas <a href="/greek/1014.htm">boulomai</a> 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 -- desire, be disposed (forward), intend, list, love, mean, please, have rather, (be) will (have, -ling, -
