G3195 — μέλλω

future μελλήσω (Mat 24:6; and L T Tr WH in 2Pe 1:12); imperfect ἔμελλον (so all editions in Luk 9:31 (except T WH); Joh 6:6, Joh 6:71 (except R G); (except T); (except L Tr); Act 21:27; Rev 3:2 (where R present); (except L Tr)) and ἤμελλον (so all editions in Luk 7:2; Luk 10:1 (except R G); ; Joh 4:47; Joh 12:33; Joh 18:32; Act 12:6 (exe. R G L); (except R G); (except R G T); Heb 11:8 (except L); cf. references under the word βούλομαι, at the beginning and Rutherford's note on Babrius 7, 15), to be about to do anything; so:

1. the participle, ὁ μέλλων, absolutely: τά μέλλοντα and τά ἐνεστῶτα are contrasted, Rom 8:38; 1Co 3:22; εἰς τό μέλλον, for the future, hereafter, Luk 13:9 (but see εἰς, A. II. 2 (where Grimm supplies ἔτος)); 1Ti 6:19; τά μέλλοντα, things future, things to come, i. e., according to the context, the more perfect state of things which will exist in the αἰών μέλλων, Col 2:17; with nouns, ὁ αἰών ὁ μέλλων, Mat 12:32; Eph 1:21; ζωῆς τῆς νῦν καί τῆς μελλούσης, 1Ti 4:8; τήν οἰκουμένην τήν μέλλουσαν, Heb 2:5; τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς Mat 3:7; τό κρίμα τό μέλλον, Act 24:25; πόλις, Heb 13:14; τά μέλλοντα ἀγαθά, Heb 9:11 (but L Tr marginal reading WH text γενομένων); ; τοῦ μέλλοντος namely, Ἀδάμ, i. e. the Messiah, Rom 5:14.

2. joined to an infinitive (cf. Winers Grammar, 333f (313); Buttmann, § 140, 2), a. to be on the point of doing or suffering something: with an infinitive present, ἤμελλεν ἑαυτόν ἀναιρεῖν, Act 16:27; τελευτᾶν, Luk 7:2; ἀποθνῄσκειν, Joh 4:47; add, Luk 21:7; Act 3:3; Act 18:14; Act 20:3; Act 22:26; Act 23:27; with an infinitive passive, Act 21:27; Act 27:33, etc.

b. to intend, have in mind, think to: with an infinitive present, Mat 2:13; Luk 10:1; Luk 19:4; Joh 6:6, Joh 6:15; Joh 7:35; Joh 12:4; Joh 14:22 Act 5:35; Act 17:31; Act 20:7, Act 20:13; Act 22:26; Act 26:2; Act 27:30; Heb 8:5; (2Pe 1:10 L T Tr WH); Rev 10:4; with an infinitive aorist (a construction censured by Phryn., p. 336, but authenticated more recently by many examples from the best writings from Homer down; cf. Winers Grammar, 333f (313f); Lob. ad Phryn., p. 745ff; (but see Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 420ff)): Act 12:6 L T WH; Rev 2:10 (βαλεῖν R G); Rev 3:16; ; with future infinitive ἔσεσθαι, Act 23:30 R G.

c. as in Greek writings from Homer down, of those things which will come to pass (or which one will do or suffer) by fixed necessity or divine appointment (German sollen (are to be, destined to be, etc.)); with present infinitive active: Mat 16:27; Mat 17:12; Mat 20:22; Luk 9:31; Joh 6:71; Joh 7:39; Joh 11:51; Joh 12:33; Joh 18:32; Act 20:38; Act 26:22, Act 26:23; Heb 1:14; Heb 11:8; Rev 2:10a; Rev 3:10; Rev 8:13, etc.; ἡλιάς ὁ μέλλων ἔρχεσθαι, Mat 11:14; ὁ μέλλων λυτροῦσθαι, Luk 24:12; κρίνειν, 2Ti 4:1 (WH marginal reading κρῖναι); with present infinitive passive: Mat 17:22; Mar 13:4; Luk 9:44; Luk 19:11; Luk 21:36; Act 26:22; Rom 4:24; 1Th 3:4; Jam 2:12; Rev 1:19 (Tdf. γενέσθαι); Rev 6:11; τῆς μελλούσης ἀποκαλύπτεσθαι δόξης, 1Pe 5:1; with aorist infinitive: τήν μέλλουσαν δόξαν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι, Rom 8:18; τήν μέλλουσαν πίστιν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι, Gal 3:23; used also of those things which we infer from certain preceding events will of necessity follow: with an infinitive present, Act 28:6; Rom 8:13; with an infinitive future, Act 27:10.

d. in general, of what is sure to happen: with an infinitive present, Mat 24:6; Joh 6:71; 1Ti 1:16; Rev 12:5; Rev 17:8; with an infinitive future ἔσεσθαι, Act 11:28; Act 24:15.

e. to be always on the point of doing without ever doing, i. e. to delay: τί μέλλεις; Act 22:16 (Aeschylus Prom. 36; τί μέλλετε; Euripides, Hec. 1094; Lucian, dial. mort. 10, 13, and often in secular authors; 4 Macc. 6:23; 9:1).
