Fain:
"to will deliberately, wish, desire, be minded," implying the deliberate exercise of volition (contrast No. 3), is translated "would fain" in Phm 1:13 (in the best mss.).
See DISPOSED.
| 2 | Strong's Number: g1937 | Greek: epithumeo |

| 3 | Strong's Number: g2309 | Greek: thelo |
Fain:
"to wish, to design to do anything," expresses the impulse of the will rather than the intention (see No. 1); the RV translates it "would fain" in Luk 13:31, of Herod's desire to kill Christ, AV, "will (kill);" in 1Th 2:18, of the desire of the missionaries to return to the church in Thessalonica.
See DISPOSED.
Note: In Act 26:28, in Agrippa's statement to Paul, the RV rendering is "with but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian." The lit. rendering is "with (or in) little (labor or time) thou art persuading me so as to make (me) a Christian." There is no verb for "wouldest" in the original, but it brings out the sense.
