It is used to express a wish, desire, or intention, often in the context of a request or a hypothetical situation. In modern translations, such as the Berean Standard Bible , "wouldest" is typically rendered as "would."<br><br><b>Usage in Scripture:</b><br><br>1. <b>Expression of Desire or Wish:</b><br> The term "wouldest" is often used to convey a deep longing or desire. For example, in the context of prayer or supplication, it reflects the earnest requests made to God. In the Psalms, the psalmist frequently expresses desires for God's intervention or blessing.<br><br>2. <b>Hypothetical Situations:</b><br> "Wouldest" is also used in hypothetical or conditional statements, illustrating what might happen under certain circumstances. This usage is evident in the teachings of Jesus, where He often presents scenarios to illustrate moral or spiritual truths.<br><br>3. <b>Divine Will and Human Response:</b><br> The term can highlight the tension between divine will and human response. In the Gospels, Jesus often speaks of the will of the Father and the appropriate human response to it. The use of "wouldest" in these contexts underscores the importance of aligning human desires with God's will.<br><br><b>Examples in the Berean Standard Bible:</b><br><br>While the Berean Standard Bible does not use the archaic "wouldest," it captures the essence of the term in its translation. For instance, in <a href="/matthew/23-37.htm">Matthew 23:37</a> , Jesus laments over Jerusalem: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling." Here, the desire of Jesus to gather Jerusalem's children is akin to the expression "wouldest" in older translations.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>1. <b>Human Free Will:</b><br> The use of "wouldest" in Scripture often touches on the theme of human free will. It reflects the choices individuals make in response to God's invitations or commands. This highlights the responsibility of humans to respond to God's grace and truth.<br><br>2. <b>God's Sovereign Will:</b><br> While human desires are expressed through "wouldest," the Bible also emphasizes God's sovereign will. The interplay between divine sovereignty and human agency is a recurring theme, with "wouldest" serving as a linguistic marker of this dynamic.<br><br>3. <b>Moral and Ethical Decisions:</b><br> The term is frequently associated with moral and ethical decisions, where individuals are called to choose righteousness over sin. The hypothetical scenarios presented in Scripture using "wouldest" often serve as moral lessons or warnings.<br><br>In summary, "wouldest" is a term that encapsulates the expression of desire, intention, and hypothetical scenarios within the biblical narrative. Its usage underscores the themes of human free will, divine sovereignty, and moral responsibility, inviting readers to reflect on their own responses to God's will and purposes.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3426.htm"><span class="l">3426. yesh -- being, substance, existence, is</span></a><br><b>...</b> should) be, thou do, had, hast, (which) hath, (I, shalt, that) have, (he, it, there)<br> is, substance, it (there) was, (there) were, ye will, thou wilt, <b>wouldest</b>. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/3426.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/augustine/sermons_on_selected_lessons_of_the_new_testament/sermon_xxxv_on_the_words.htm"><span class="l">On the Words of the Gospel, Matt. xix. 17, "If Thou <b>Wouldest</b> Enter <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> Sermon XXXV.
