Voluntary
Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words
* Note: In Colossians 2:18 , thelo (for which see DESIRE , B, No. 6) is rendered "(in a) voluntary (humility)," present participle, i.e., "being a voluntary (in humility)," AV marg., RV marg., "of his own mere will (by humility)," en, "in," being rendered as instrumental; what was of one's own mere will, with the speciousness of humility, would mean his being robbed of his prize.
