“a desire, craving, longing, mostly of evil desires,” frequently translated “lust,” is used in the following, of good “desires:” of the Lord’s “wish” concerning the last Passover, Luk 22:15<\/span>; of Paul’s “desire” to be with Christ, Phi 1:23<\/span>; of his “desire” to see the saints at Thessalonica again, 1Th 2:17<\/span>. <\/p>\n With regard to evil “desires,” in Col 3:5<\/span> the RV has “desire,” for the AV, “concupiscence;” in 1Th 4:5<\/span>, RV, “lust,” for AV, “concupiscence;” there the preceding word pathos is translated “passion,” RV, for AV, “lust” (see AFFECTION); also in Col 3:5<\/span> pathos and epithumia are associated, RV, “passion,” for AV, “inordinate affection.” Epithumia is combined with pathema, in Gal 5:24<\/span>; for the AV, “affections and lusts,” the RV has “passions, and the lusts thereof.” Epithumia is the more comprehensive term, including all manner of “lusts and desires;” pathema denotes suffering; in the passage in Gal. (l.c.) the sufferings are those produced by yielding to the flesh; pathos points more to the evil state from which “lusts” spring. Cp. orexis, “lust,” Rom 1:27<\/span>. See CONCUPISCENCE, LUST, and Trench, Syn. lxxxvii. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n lit., “good pleasure” (eu, “well,” dokeo, “to seem”), implies a gracious purpose, a good object being in view, with the idea of a resolve, showing the willingness with which the resolve is made. It is often translated “good pleasure,” e.g., Eph 1:5<\/span>,9; Phi 2:13<\/span>; in Phi 1:15<\/span>, “good will;” in Rom 10:1<\/span>, “desire,” (marg., “good pleasure”); in 2Th 1:11<\/span>, RV, “desire,” AV and RV, marg., “good pleasure.” <\/p>\n It is used of God in Mat 11:26<\/span> (“well pleasing,” RV, for AV, “seemed good”); Luk 2:14<\/span>, RV, “men in whom He is well pleased,” lit., “men of good plearure” (the construction is objective); Luk 10:21<\/span>; Eph 1:5<\/span>,9; Phi 2:13<\/span>. See PLEASURE, SEEM, WILL. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “an earnest desire, a longing for” (epi, “upon,” intensive, potheo, “to desire”), is found in 2Co 7:7<\/span>,11, AV, “earnest desire,” and “vehement desire;” RV, “longing” in both places. See LONGING. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n with the same meaning as No. 3, is used in Rom 15:23<\/span>, RV, “longing,” AV, “great desire.” Cp. epipothetos, Phi 4:1<\/span>, “longed for,” and epipotheo, “to long for” [see B, Note (4)]. See LONGING. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n denotes “a will, that which is willed” (akin to B, No. 6). It is rendered “desires,” in Eph 2:3<\/span>. See PLEASURE, WILL. <\/p>\n Note: In 1Pe 4:3<\/span>, RV, boulema is rendered “desire.” See WILL. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to deem worthy,” is translated “desire” in Act 28:22<\/span>, where a suitable rendering would be “We think it meet (or good) to hear of thee;” so in Act 15:38<\/span>. See THINK. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to desire earnestly” (as with A, No. 1), stresses the inward impulse rather than the object desired. It is translated “to desire” in Luk 16:21<\/span>; Luk 17:22<\/span>; Luk 22:15<\/span>; 1Ti 3:1<\/span>; Heb 6:11<\/span>; 1Pe 1:12<\/span>; Rev 9:6<\/span>. See COVET. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n in Luk 7:36<\/span> is translated “desired;” in Luk 14:32<\/span>, RV, “asketh,” for AV, “desireth;” so in Joh 12:21<\/span>; Act 16:39<\/span>; Act 18:20<\/span>; Act 23:20<\/span>; in Act 23:18<\/span> “asked,” for AV, “prayed.” See ASK. <\/p>\n “to have a strong affection for, a yearning after,” is found in 1Th 2:8<\/span>, “being affectionately desirous of you.” It is probably derived from a root indicating rememberance. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to reach or stretch out,” is used only in the Middle Voice, signifying the mental effort of stretching oneself out for a thing, of longing after it, with stress upon the object desired (cp. No. 2); it is translated “desire” in Heb 11:16<\/span>; in 1Ti 3:1<\/span>, RV, “seeketh,” for AV, “desireth;” in 1Ti 6:10<\/span>, RV, “reached after,” for AV, “coveted after.” In Heb 11:16<\/span>, a suitable rendering would be “reach after.” See COVET, SEEK. Cp. orexis, lust, Rom 1:27<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to will, to wish,” implying volition and purpose, frequently a determination, is most usually rendered “to will.” It is translated “to desire” in the RV of the following: Mat 9:13<\/span>; Mat 12:7<\/span>; Mar 6:19<\/span>; Luk 10:29<\/span>; Luk 14:28<\/span>; Luk 23:20<\/span>; Act 24:27<\/span>; Act 25:9<\/span>; Gal 4:17<\/span>; 1Ti 5:11<\/span>; Heb 12:17<\/span>; Heb 13:18<\/span>. See DISPOSED, FORWARD, INTEND, LIST, LOVE, MEAN, PLEASED, RATHER, VOLUNTARY, WILL. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to wish, to will deliberately,” expresses more strongly than thelo (No. 6) the deliberate exercise of the will; it is translated “to desire” in the RV of the following: Act 22:30<\/span>; Act 23:38<\/span>; Act 27:43<\/span>; Act 28:18<\/span>; 1Ti 2:8<\/span>; 1Ti 5:14<\/span>; 1Ti 6:9<\/span>; Jud 1:5<\/span>. See DISPOSED, INTEND, LIST, MINDED, WILLING, WISH, WOULD. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to have a zeal for, to be zealous towards,” whether in a good or evil sense, the former in 1Co 14:1<\/span>, concerning spiritual gifts RV, “desire earnestly,” AV, “desire;” in an evil sense, in Jam 4:2<\/span>, RV, “covet,” for AV, “desire to have.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to ask,” is rendered “to desire” in AV, e.g., in Mat 20:20<\/span>; Luk 23:25<\/span> [RV, always “to ask (for)”]. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n is translated “earnestly desiring” in 2Pe 3:12<\/span>, RV. See HASTE. <\/p>\n Note: The following are translated by the verb “to desire” in the AV. (1) Eperotao, No. 3, with epi, intensive, “to ask, interrogate, inquire of, consult, or to demand of a person;” in Mat 16:1<\/span>, RV, “asked.” See ASK. (2) Zeteo, “to seek;” in Mat 12:46<\/span>,47, RV, “seeking;” in Luk 9:9<\/span>, RV, “sought.” See ENDEAVOR, GO, Note (2), (a), INQUIRE, REQUIRE, SEEK. (3) Epizeteo, “to seek earnestly” (No. 2, with epi, intensive), in Act 13:7<\/span>, RV, “sought;” in Phi 4:17<\/span>, RV, “seek for” (twice). See INQUIRE, SEEK. (4) Epipotheo, “to long after, to lust;” in 2Co 5:2<\/span>, RV, “longing;” in 1Th 3:6<\/span>; 2Ti 1:4<\/span>, RV, “longing;” in 1Pe 2:2<\/span>, RV, “long for.” See A, Nos. 3,4. See LONG, LUST. (5) Exaiteomai, intensive of No. 9, occurs in Luk 22:31<\/span>. (6) For parakaleo, see BESEECH, EXHORT, INTREAT.
