Self-Will
Self-Will
self-wil (, racon; , authades): Found once in the Old Testament (Gen 49:6, In their self-will they hocked an ox) in the death song of Jacob (see HOCK). The idea is found twice in the New Testament in the sense of pleasing oneself: not self-willed, not soon angry (Tit 1:7); and daring, self-willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities (2Pe 2:10). In all these texts it stands for a false pride, for obstinacy, for a pertinacious adherence to one’s will or wish, especially in opposition to the dictates of wisdom or propriety or the wishes of others.
