Same as Search

A Friend

To Whom it May Concern,

I'm currently preaching through Ephesians at our church. This book talks about the Church a lot.
I'd like to be able to search the book of Ephesians to discover every time Paul refers to the Church.
I can do a simple search like "church or body" but I feel like I might be missing something - as in when searching the same book for the phrase "In Christ" one must also be aware of "In Him, In Whom, etc".
Would you be so kind as to suggest a search phrase that will capture ALL references to the Church? 

Thank you.

In Christ,

In theory, a Bible search for <Person A Church> OR <Person Church at Ephesus> should do it. The problem with that is that it includes every instance of "you", which although technically correct, is not what you want.

My best quick suggestion is: (<Person A Church> OR <Person Church at Ephesus>) INTERSECTS (<LogosMorphGr ~ J????> OR <LogosMorphGr ~ N????>), or perhaps (<Person A Church> OR <Person Church at Ephesus>) NOT INTERSECTS (<LogosMorphGr ~ R??????>  OR <LogosMorphGr ~ V??????>)

The idea of both is to remove the pronouns.

Neither are perfect, often because of the problems of searching an English translation. But one or both will get you very close, I think, with words like "holy people", "the faithful", "God's people", "church", "body", "household", "building", "brothers and sisters".
