- 2 Corinthians 2:16 καὶ conj to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?
- 2 Corinthians 3:2 καὶ conj You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
- 2 Corinthians 3:6 καὶ conj who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
- 2 Corinthians 3:10 καὶ conj For most assuredly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.

- 2 Corinthians 6:1 καὶ conj Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain,
- 2 Corinthians 6:2 καὶ conj for he says, "At an acceptable time I listened to you, In a day of salvation I helped you." Behold, now is the acceptable time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.
- 2 Corinthians 6:7 καὶ conj in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
- 2 Corinthians 6:8 καὶ καὶ καὶ conj conj conj by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;
- 2 Corinthians 6:9 καὶ καὶ καὶ conj conj conj as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and not killed;

- 2 Corinthians 7:8 καὶ καὶ καὶ conj conj conj For though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for a while.
- 2 Corinthians 7:12 καὶ conj So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
- 2 Corinthians 7:14 καὶ conj For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
- 2 Corinthians 7:15 καὶ καὶ conj conj His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
- 2 Corinthians 8:2 καὶ conj how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.
- 2 Corinthians 8:3 καὶ conj For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
- 2 Corinthians 8:4 καὶ conj begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
- 2 Corinthians 8:5 καὶ καὶ conj conj This was not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
- 2 Corinthians 8:6 καὶ καὶ conj conj So we urged Titus, that as he made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
- 2 Corinthians 8:7 καὶ καὶ καὶ καὶ καὶ conj conj conj conj conj But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace.
- 2 Corinthians 8:8 καὶ conj I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
- 2 Corinthians 8:10 καὶ καὶ conj conj I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing.
- 2 Corinthians 8:11 καὶ καὶ conj conj But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to be willing, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
- 2 Corinthians 8:14 καὶ conj but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies their lack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that there may be equality.

- 2 Corinthians 8:21 καὶ conj Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
- 2 Corinthians 8:23 καὶ conj As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for our brothers, they are the apostles of the assemblies, the glory of Christ.
- 2 Corinthians 8:24 καὶ conj Therefore show the proof of your love to them in front of the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.
- 2 Corinthians 9:2 καὶ conj for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.
- 2 Corinthians 9:4 καὶ conj so that I won't by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) should be disappointed in this confident boasting.
- 2 Corinthians 9:5 καὶ conj I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you, and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness.
- 2 Corinthians 9:6 καὶ καὶ καὶ conj conj conj Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
- 2 Corinthians 9:10 καὶ καὶ καὶ conj conj conj Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;
- 2 Corinthians 9:12 καὶ conj For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lack among the saints, but abounds also through many givings of thanks to God;
- 2 Corinthians 9:13 καὶ καὶ conj conj seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the Gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all;
- 2 Corinthians 9:14 καὶ conj while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn for you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
- 2 Corinthians 10:1 καὶ conj Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you.
- 2 Corinthians 10:5 καὶ καὶ conj conj throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;
- 2 Corinthians 10:6 καὶ conj and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience will be made full.
- 2 Corinthians 10:7 καὶ conj Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's.
- 2 Corinthians 10:8 καὶ conj For though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I will not be disappointed,
- 2 Corinthians 10:10 καὶ καὶ conj conj For, "His letters," they say, "are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised."
- 2 Corinthians 10:11 καὶ conj Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
- 2 Corinthians 10:12 καὶ conj For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
- 2 Corinthians 10:13 καὶ conj But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.
- 2 Corinthians 10:14 καὶ conj For we don't stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn't reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Gospel of Christ,
- 2 Corinthians 11:1 καὶ conj I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
- 2 Corinthians 11:6 καὶ conj But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
- 2 Corinthians 11:8 καὶ καὶ conj conj I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
- 2 Corinthians 11:9 καὶ καὶ conj conj When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn't a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
- 2 Corinthians 11:12 καὶ καὶ conj conj But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.
- 2 Corinthians 11:14 καὶ conj And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
- 2 Corinthians 11:15 καὶ conj It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
- 2 Corinthians 11:27 καὶ καὶ καὶ conj conj conj in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.

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.
