'Wish' in the Bible

I give you my opinion in this matter: this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin a year ago not only to take action [to help the believers in Jerusalem], but also [the first] to desire to do it.

I wish you would bear with me [while I indulge] in a little foolishness; but indeed you are bearing with me [as you read this].

Why? Because I do not love you [or wish you well, or have regard for your welfare]? God knows [that I do]!
