'Wish' in the Bible

“I came to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already set ablaze!

“I wish before God,” replied Paul, “that whether easily or with difficulty, not only you but all who listen to me today might become as I am—except for these chains.”

For I could almost wish to be cursed and cut off from the Messiah for the benefit of my brothers, my own flesh and blood.

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!

I wish that all people were just like me. But each has his own gift from God, one person in this way and another in that way.

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.

I wish you would put up with a little foolishness from me. Yes, do put up with me.

I wish those who are disturbing you might also get themselves castrated!

I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot.
