Meanings

  1. although, though, even though

    A marker of concession

    Examples

    Philippians 3:4 although I myself could boast as having confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he is confident in the flesh, I have more reason:

    Hebrews 5:8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.

    Hebrews 7:5 And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their countrymen, although they are descended from Abraham.

How it’s used

Every occurrence, grouped by the words it is grammatically related to.

When two words share a role, as in “Paul and Barnabas said”, the verse appears under each, so a section’s counts can add up to more than the number of occurrences.
