Both and , which latter word is of much more frequent use, are translated ‘to will’ and the latter ‘to desire,’ with other variations of both in the A.V<\/p>\n
The distinction of the two words seems to be justly designated (at least as to their N.T. use) thus: expresses in general ‘to exercise the will’ – the will which proceeds from inclination or desire. is the will which follows from deliberation, and involves a carefully-weighed purpose.<\/p>\n
They occur together in Mat 1:19; Joseph not desiring (.) to expose Mary publicly, purposed (.) to have put her away secretly. In 1Ti 5:11, as to the younger widows not being put on the list, they will (.), their desire is, to marry: in 1Ti 5:14 Paul’s deliberate judgement and will is that they should; “I will (.) therefore.”<\/p>\n
In Phm 1:13 the apostle “would have” (.), was desirous of, keeping Onesimus with him, but without Philemon’s mind” willed (.) to do nothing.” Also in 1Ti 2:4, as to “God our Saviour, who desires that all men should be saved,” it is : see Eze 18:23 (LXX, Vat. ) “Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” (with which may be compared 1Co 12:18 “as it hath pleased [.] him,” and 1Co 15:38): in 1Ti 2:8 it is as in 1Ti 5:14 “I will therefore,” the active wish being implied<\/p>\n
For see more fully Joh 6:67, “Will ye also go away?” not simply the act, but the will to do it: ‘is it your will or disposition?’ ‘are ye also disposed to go away?’ Luk 15:28: “he was angry, and ‘would’ not go in.” Mar 6:19: “would have killed him.” 1Co 10:27: “and ye be ‘disposed’ to go.” Mat 17:12: “whatsoever they listed.” Compare the use of for ‘I would’ and ‘would not’ in Rom 7:15-16; Rom 7:18-21, in opposition to ‘I hate,’ ‘I do.’ Also 1Co 7:7: “I would that all men were even as myself.” Rom 9:16: “it is not of him that willeth.” Mar 9:35; Mar 12:38, may be added where it is ‘desire’ and ‘love.’<\/p>\n
For see Mat 11:27: “he to whomsoever the Son will (or ‘wills to’) reveal him.” Heb 6:17: “wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel.” (The word ‘counsel’ is the substantive : it occurs ten times so rendered in the A.V.) So 1Co 12:11 of the “Spirit, dividing to every one severally as he will.” Jam 1:18: “of his own will” – ‘having so purposed or willed:’ it was the fruit of His own mind, and so a free gift (Jam 1:17). 2Pe 3:9: “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance,” thus becomes clear as the expression of His purpose. 2Pe 3:5 may be referred to for the force of : “this they are willingly ignorant of,” or “this is hidden from them through their own wilfulness.”<\/p>\n
With the above may be compared the judicial ‘will’ or ‘would’ () of Act 18:15; Act 22:30; Act 23:28; Act 25:22; Act 28:18; and Pilate’s use of it in putting the momentous decision to the Jews, Joh 18:39. In 1Ti 6:9, it will be seen that “will be rich” (.) includes the idea of purpose; as also Jam 4:4, with regard to the friendship of the world<\/p>\n
Eph 1:11 brings together the substantives formed from the two words: “after the counsel () of his own will ().” The latter is used in Eph 2:3, “the ‘desires’ of the flesh and of the mind;” and the consistent distinction of the former is maintained in 1Co 4:5, “and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts.”<\/p>\n
only occurs in Act 27:43, translated ‘purpose,’ and Rom 9:19, ‘will.’<\/p>\n
is another word connected with ‘purpose,’ which is its fitting translation: it is, according to the verb , what I set before myself, and so propose and determine. See for the verb Rom 1:13 and Eph 1:9. The substantive, , is found in connection with the ‘showbread’ in its physical force of setting forth, or placing a thing in view, Heb 9:2 – the O.T. expression for the rite of the “setting forth of the loaves”; but, following the verb, it is “purpose of heart” in Act 11:23 (comp. 2Ti 3:10), and in five other passages applied to the purposes of God’s heart, Rom 8:28; Rom 9:11; Eph 1:11 (where it is closely associated with and ); Eph 3:11; 2Ti 1:9<\/p>\n
