- Romans 10:3 τὴν τοῦ τὴν τῇ τοῦ art acc sg fem art gen sg masc art acc sg fem art dat sg fem art gen sg masc For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
- Romans 10:4 τῷ art dat sg masc For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

- Romans 11:2 ὁ τὸν ἡ τῷ τοῦ art nom sg masc art acc sg masc art nom sg fem art dat sg masc art gen sg masc God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

- Romans 11:5 τῷ art dat sg masc Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
- Romans 11:11 τῷ ἡ τοῖς τὸ art dat sg neut art nom sg fem art dat pl neut art acc sg neut I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
- Romans 11:13 τοῖς τὴν art dat pl neut art acc sg fem For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;
- Romans 11:20 τῇ τῇ art dat sg fem art dat sg fem True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear;
- Romans 11:22 τοὺς τῇ art acc pl masc art dat sg fem See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
- Romans 11:23 τῇ ὁ art dat sg fem art nom sg masc They also, if they don't continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
- Romans 11:24 τῆς οἱ τῇ art gen sg fem art nom pl masc art dat sg fem For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
- Romans 11:25 τὸ τῷ τὸ τῶν art acc sg neut art dat sg masc art nom sg neut art gen pl neut For I don't desire, brothers, to have you ignorant of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
- Romans 11:30 τῷ τῇ art dat sg masc art dat sg fem For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
- Romans 11:31 τῷ art dat sg neut even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
- Romans 12:1 τῶν τοῦ τὰ τῷ τὴν art gen pl masc art gen sg masc art acc pl neut art dat sg masc art acc sg fem Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
- Romans 12:2 τῷ τῇ τοῦ τὸ τὸ τοῦ τὸ art dat sg masc art dat sg fem art gen sg masc art acc sg neut art nom sg neut art gen sg masc art nom sg neut Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
- Romans 12:3 τῆς τῆς τῷ τὸ ὁ art gen sg fem art gen sg fem art dat sg masc art acc sg neut art nom sg masc For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
- Romans 12:7 τῇ ὁ τῇ art dat sg fem art nom sg masc art dat sg fem or service, let us give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
- Romans 12:8 ὁ τῇ ὁ ὁ ὁ art nom sg masc art dat sg fem art nom sg masc art nom sg masc art nom sg masc or he who exhorts, to his exhorting: he who gives, let him do it with liberality; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
- Romans 12:9 Ἡ τὸ τῷ art nom sg fem art acc sg neut art dat sg neut Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

- Romans 12:11 τῇ τῷ τῷ art dat sg fem art dat sg neut art dat sg masc not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
- Romans 12:12 τῇ τῇ τῇ art dat sg fem art dat sg fem art dat sg fem rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
- Romans 12:13 ταῖς τῶν τὴν art dat pl fem art gen pl masc art acc sg fem contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.

- Romans 12:19 τῇ art dat sg fem Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."
- Romans 12:21 τοῦ τῷ τὸ art gen sg neut art dat sg neut art acc sg neut Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
- Romans 13:2 ὁ τῇ τῇ τοῦ οἱ art nom sg masc art dat sg fem art dat sg fem art gen sg masc art nom pl masc Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
- Romans 13:3 οἱ τῷ τῷ τὴν τὸ art nom pl masc art dat sg neut art dat sg neut art acc sg fem art acc sg neut For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,
- Romans 13:4 τὸ τὸ τὴν τῷ τὸ art acc sg neut art acc sg neut art acc sg fem art dat sg masc art acc sg neut for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn't bear the sword in vain; for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.

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.

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.
