Strong's Concordance boulomai: to will Original Word: βούλομαιPart of Speech: Verb Transliteration: boulomai Phonetic Spelling: (boo'-lom-ahee) Short Definition: I will, intend, desire Definition: I will, intend, desire, wish. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 1014 boúlomai – to plan with full resolve (determination). See 1012 (boulē). 1014 /boúlomai ("resolutely plan") is a strong term that underlines the predetermined (and determined) intention driving the planning (wishing, resolving). In contrast, 2309 (thélō) focuses on the desire ("wishfulness") behind making an offer (cf. TDNT, 1, 629). [While God's "thelō-offers" can be rejected (see 2309 /thélō), His 1014 /boúlomai ("planning") always works out His purpose, especially in conjunction with presetting the physical scenes of history.] Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1014: βούλομαιβούλομαι, 2 person singular βούλει Luke 22:42 (Attic for βουλή, cf.
