The bread which we break, isn't it a communion of the body of Christ?

- 1 Corinthians 11:28 τοῦ τοῦ art gen sg masc art gen sg neut But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
- 1 Corinthians 11:32 τοῦ τῷ art gen sg masc art dat sg masc But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

- 1 Corinthians 12:15 ὁ τοῦ τοῦ art nom sg masc art gen sg neut art gen sg neut If the foot would say, "Because I'm not the hand, I'm not part of the body," it is not therefore not part of the body.
- 1 Corinthians 12:16 τὸ τοῦ τοῦ art nom sg neut art gen sg neut art gen sg neut If the ear would say, "Because I'm not the eye, I'm not part of the body," it's not therefore not part of the body.

- 1 Corinthians 15:15 τοῦ τοῦ τὸν art gen sg masc art gen sg masc art acc sg masc Yes, we are found false witnesses of God, because we testified about God that he raised up Christ, whom he didn't raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.
- 1 Corinthians 15:20 τῶν art gen pl masc But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

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 6,958 distinct verses.
- Gospels 3,366 verses · 48%
- Lukan (Luke–Acts) 1,951 verses · 28%
- Pauline corpus 1,635 verses · 23%

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 (G3588) 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.
