Is there a way to find out how many "one another" verses there are in the Bible?
Does this work for you?
Thank you, Graham. I'd like to know from the Greek (and Hebrew if there are examples).
I'm sorry - I don't understand.
Can you clarify please?
The number varies, pending on which English translation I use. I'd like to know from the Greek "one another" and "each other" when connected to verbs: love another, bear one another's burdens, be at peace with each other, etc.
I understand a bit further but I'm still struggling a bit. Taking the example of "loving one another" and searching for the English text in NRSV one gets the following:
If you look at the first result you find that the words used are ἀγαπάω and ἀλλήλων.
Searching for these words as a phrase you get:
This just includes the first three results of the original search and doesn't include - for example - the reference in Romans 12:10 and this is because it uses different Greek words:
So are you wanting to find all cases where different Greek words for love (as an example) are used with different words for "another" or are you trying to do something else?
Sorry - I'm sure I am missing the point of what you are trying to achieve.[:)]

I think he wants to search for the αλληλων part, not for the verbs (but I'm not far enough into Greek to know whether this is the only lemma to search for.
Shouldn't the due process be: do a BWS from the "another" and find - backwards - the Greek lemma or lemmata involved (translation ring Greek & potentially Hebrew), then search for these from a GNT (BHS) bible to find all instances, including those that were transalted differently in different English bibles.
My understanding of it, without having done it myself.
Yes, NB.Mick is more along the line of what I'm trying to do. Basically, I've heard pastors say there are "38," "58," and other number of references to 'one another' verses in the Bible. So I wanted to find out definitively how many. I thought doing from the Greek would be best but was not certain. Appreciate all your efforts!
Yes, the results will vary. Namely because of translations and that there are repeat verses w/in the Gospels.…..but the average will be around 40(NT) " one another" / "another one" after you do all the filtering….
hope this helps...
Thanks room4more. Any chance I can see the type of filtering you're talking about?
Greg, don't know if you are interested but I have studied the one another passages for a long time and some of the best thoughts on it in my opinion are what Gene Getz has said in his "One Another Series"
http://www.amazon.com/Building-Up-One-Another-Series/dp/1564765172
hmmm I could scan the pages and post the pdf but that would take to long......
I did it old school, ἀλλήλων export to passage list / print / read and crossed out what didn't apply to :
I.E.: Matt 25.32, has nothing to do w/love or hate or betray or serve or bear.....
-Mark 4.41. they were filled w/fear and said one to another.....
[it takes different forms: a pronoun which marks reciprocation between two persons or groups;
each other, mutual, one another, (the other), (them-, your-) selves, (selves) together] so it depends on the usage that you seek to define. I dunt know about Getz book.. never read it.
use the BWS for ἀλλήλων ; peruse that, never really tried a 'filter' per se in Logos since it has many forms...u will see what i mean...
Logos 5 added ability to search for roots:
root:αλλος WITHIN 3 WORDS root:αγαπαω
Keep Smiling [:)]
Picking up on Mick's BWS suggestion - you can take one of the "one another" occurences and carry out a BWS
which results in something like this:
If you then expand the "Grammatical Relationships" section and then the "Object of..." subsection you will get a list of where this word is used in relation to which verbs
Does this help?
Graham, YES! That's the home run. Thank you! Love this feature and appreciate your perseverance. thanks again.
