It often conveys a sense of deliberate choice or preference, reflecting a person's will or decision-making process. Context: The Greek verb βούλομαι appears in various contexts within the New Testament, illustrating the nuances of human will and divine intention. It is often used to describe the intentions or desires of individuals, whether in personal decisions or in expressing a preference for a particular course of action.
