{Willeth} ( helei). God's wish and will in so far as he can
influence men. {That all men should be saved} (pantas anthr(9370)ous
s(9374)h(886e)ai). First aorist passive infinitive of s(937a)(935c) with
accusative of general reference. See 1Co 10:33 2Co 5:18f . {To
the knowledge} (eis epign(9373)in). "The full knowledge" as in Col
1:6 Eph 4:13 (ten times in Paul). See 2Ti 3:7 for the whole
phrase "full knowledge of the truth" (al(8874)heia 14 times in the
Pastorals). Paul is anxious as in Colossians and Ephesians that
the Gnostics may not lead the people astray. They need the full
intellectual apprehension of Christianity.
