'Wish' in the Bible

You are already full! You are already rich! You have begun to reign as kings without us—and I wish you did reign, so that we could also reign with you!

what do ye wish? with a rod shall I come unto you, or in love, with a spirit also of meekness?

And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

no, but that the things that the nations sacrifice -- they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons.

If an unbeliever invites you to his house and you wish to go, eat whatever is set before you, raising no question on the grounds of conscience.

Why, have you no homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you wish to show your contempt for the Church of God and make those who have no homes feel ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I certainly do not praise you.

I wish all of you spoke in other languages, but even more that you prophesied. The person who prophesies is greater than the person who speaks in languages, unless he interprets so that the church may be built up.

but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my understanding, that others also I may instruct, rather than myriads of words in an unknown tongue.

for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord may permit;

All the believers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
