- 1 Corinthians 7:34 καὶ καὶ καὶ καὶ καὶ conj conj conj conj conj There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin.

- 1 Corinthians 8:4 καὶ conj Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
- 1 Corinthians 8:5 καὶ καὶ conj conj For though there are things that are called "gods," whether in the heavens or on earth; as there are many "gods" and many "lords;"
- 1 Corinthians 8:6 καὶ καὶ καὶ conj conj conj yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
- 1 Corinthians 8:7 καὶ conj However, that knowledge isn't in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.
- 1 Corinthians 8:12 καὶ conj Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

- 1 Corinthians 9:5 καὶ καὶ καὶ conj conj conj Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
- 1 Corinthians 9:6 καὶ conj Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?
- 1 Corinthians 9:7 καὶ καὶ conj conj What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, and doesn't eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and doesn't drink from the flock's milk?
- 1 Corinthians 9:8 καὶ conj Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or doesn't the law also say the same thing?
- 1 Corinthians 9:10 καὶ conj or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope.
- 1 Corinthians 9:14 καὶ conj Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Gospel should live from the Gospel.
- 1 Corinthians 9:20 καὶ conj To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law;
- 1 Corinthians 9:27 καὶ conj but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
- 1 Corinthians 10:1 καὶ conj Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
- 1 Corinthians 10:2 καὶ καὶ conj conj and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
- 1 Corinthians 10:3 καὶ conj and all ate the same spiritual food;
- 1 Corinthians 10:4 καὶ conj and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
- 1 Corinthians 10:7 καὶ καὶ conj conj Neither be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."
- 1 Corinthians 10:8 καὶ conj Neither let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
- 1 Corinthians 10:9 καὶ conj Neither let us test the Lord, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
- 1 Corinthians 10:10 καὶ conj Neither grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
- 1 Corinthians 10:13 καὶ conj No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
- 1 Corinthians 10:20 καὶ conj But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don't desire that you would have communion with demons.
- 1 Corinthians 10:21 καὶ καὶ conj conj You can't both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can't both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.
- 1 Corinthians 10:26 καὶ conj for "the earth is the Lord's, and its fullness."
- 1 Corinthians 10:27 καὶ conj But if one of those who don't believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
- 1 Corinthians 10:28 καὶ conj But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," don't eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For "the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness."
- 1 Corinthians 10:32 καὶ καὶ καὶ conj conj conj Give no occasions for stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;
- 1 Corinthians 11:2 καὶ conj Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
- 1 Corinthians 11:5 καὶ conj But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.
- 1 Corinthians 11:6 καὶ conj For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
- 1 Corinthians 11:7 καὶ conj For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.
- 1 Corinthians 11:9 καὶ conj for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
- 1 Corinthians 11:12 καὶ conj For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from God.
- 1 Corinthians 11:18 καὶ conj For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.
- 1 Corinthians 11:19 καὶ conj For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
- 1 Corinthians 11:21 καὶ conj For in your eating each one takes his own supper before others. One is hungry, and another is drunken.

By traditional corpus
Conventional, traditional groupings — biblical authorship is debated, so this is a traditional corpus grouping, not an authorship claim. Some books belong to more than one corpus (Luke is in both the Gospels and the Lukan corpus, and so on), so these shares overlap and need not total 100%. Each figure is a share of the word’s 5,125 distinct verses.
- Gospels 2,619 verses · 51%
- Lukan (Luke–Acts) 1,489 verses · 29%
- Pauline corpus 1,026 verses · 20%

How translations render this word
Counts come from each version’s own published word-to-Strong’s tagging or interlinear alignment — an approximate guide to how each version renders this word, not a word-level alignment the data otherwise carries. Because each total is that version’s own tagged count, the per-version totals vary from one another and need not match the appearance or distinct-verse counts above. These counts may also differ from a printed concordance because Lemma counts each distinctly tagged rendering and does not collapse phrase taggings into a single head-word total. This is a fixed set of word-tagged versions (KJV, ASV, BSB, ULT) and does not change with the reading translation you choose elsewhere. Each version’s license is shown beside its name below (and on Sources).

These are occurrences of the same Greek lexeme (G2532) in the Septuagint — not a translation of any one Hebrew word. The store carries no word-level Hebrew↔Greek alignment, so no Hebrew original is asserted here. Counts come from the recovered LXX Strong's tagging — high-frequency vocabulary is well covered, while rare or late forms may be untagged — so they reflect tagged occurrences and may slightly undercount.
