How would I find all Datives in a book of the Bible? Both nouns and verbs?

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    1. Open a search panel
    2. set it to a morph search
    3. set your Bible
    4. set your morphology - greek and hebrew separately - use Logos morphology unless you have reason to use something else
    5. enter @ in your search argument, select noun and dative leaving everything else undefined
    6. type OR
    7. enter @ in your search argument, select adjective and dative leaving everything else undefined
    8. type OR
    9. enter @ in your search argument, select verb and dative leaving everything else undefined.
    10. Run the query

    Yes, there is a shorter syntax but I wanted to keep the directions simple.

    morph.g:ND or morph.g:JD or morph.g:V?????D

    This resulted in zero results.

    The OR's must be capitals.

    After trying a few more times, I changed from Jude to Entire Bible. I am pretty sure their are several datives in Jude. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks for any help.

    @MJ. Smith

    Thank you so much. It worked with the capital OR. Just out of sheer curiosity, why would we have different results using the same NA 28 etc.?

    If you look carefully, mine has a warning that the results may be off because the resource was still being indexed.
