θέλητε
thelete
you wish
apparently strengthened from the alternate form of αἱρέομαι; to determine (as an active option from subjective impulse; whereas βούλομαι properly denotes rather a passive acquiescence in objective considerations), i.e. choose or prefer (literally or figuratively); by implication, to wish, i.e. be inclined to (sometimes adverbially, gladly); impersonally for the future tense, to be about to; by Hebraism, to delight in:--desire, be disposed (forward), intend, list, love, mean, please, have rather, (be) will (have, -ling, - ling(-ly)).

SIBI-P1 G2309-19
you (plural) are willing / you (plural) may be willing
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing aspect); active voice; 2nd person plural. Forms include indicative (IPA2P: "you are willing") and subjunctive (SPA2P: "you may be willing"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb θέλω denotes an act of the will—an active choosing or desiring arising from one’s own inclination. The present active 2nd person plural forms express either ongoing will (indicative: "you are willing") or potential/contingent will (subjunctive: "you may be willing"), preserving both the durative present aspect and the plural address. |
