| Acts 28:14 | where we found brethren, and were invited to stay with them seven days. And so we went toward (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) Rome. |
| Acts 28:15 | And the brothers there, when they heard about us, came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) meet us. On seeing them, Paul gave thanks to God and took courage. |
| Acts 28:16 | And when we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with a soldier guarding him. |
| Acts 28:17 | And it happened that after three days Paul called together the leaders of the Jews.

| Acts 28:23 | When they had arranged a day to meet with him, many came to him at (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) his lodging, and he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning till evening. |
| Romans 1:1 | Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) the gospel of God, |
| Romans 1:5 | Through him we have received grace and apostleship to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) bring about the obedience of faith among all the nations on behalf of his name, |
| Romans 1:11 | For I long to see you so that I may share with you some spiritual gift to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) strengthen you — |
| Romans 1:16 | For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. |
| Romans 1:17 | For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) faith; as it is written, “The righteous by faith will live.” |
| Romans 1:20 | Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, that is, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made. So (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) they are without excuse. |
| Romans 1:24 | Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) impurity, so that they dishonored their bodies among themselves. |
| Romans 1:25 | They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever (eis | εἰς | prep-acc). Amen. |
| Romans 1:26 | For this reason God gave them over to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) degrading passions. Their women exchanged the natural sexual function for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) one that is unnatural, |
| Romans 1:27 | and likewise the men also abandoned the natural sexual relation with women and burned in their passion for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) one another — men with men committing shameless acts and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. |
| Romans 1:28 | And as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) a debased mind, to do things that ought not to be done. |
| Romans 2:4 | Or do you hold in contempt the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) repentance? |
| Romans 2:26 | Therefore if the uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) circumcision? |
| Romans 3:7 | But if by my lie God’s truthfulness abounds to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner? |
| Romans 3:22 | It is the righteousness of God available through faith in Jesus Christ for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) all who believe. (There is no distinction, |
| Romans 3:25 | whom God set forth as an atoning sacrifice by his blood, obtainable through faith. This was to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) demonstrate his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over previous sins. |
| Romans 3:26 | It was also to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, that (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. |
| Romans 4:3 | For what does the scripture say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) righteousness.” |
| Romans 4:5 | But to the one who does not work, but entrusts himself to the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) righteousness. |
| Romans 4:9 | Therefore, is this blessedness for the circumcised alone, or is it also for the uncircumcised? For we say, “It was to Abraham that faith was credited as (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) righteousness.” |
| Romans 4:11 | He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, so (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) that he would be the father of all who believe but have never been circumcised, that (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) they too might have righteousness credited to them. |
| Romans 4:16 | For this reason the promise is based on faith, that it may depend on grace and be made certain to all his descendants, not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all. |
| Romans 4:18 | Hoping against hope, Abraham believed that (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) he would become the father of many nations according to what had been spoken, “So will your descendants be.” |
| Romans 4:20 | He did not waver in unbelief regarding (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, |
| Romans 4:22 | That is why his faith was credited to him as (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) righteousness. |
| Romans 5:2 | through whom we have also obtained access by faith into (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of sharing the glory of God. |
| Romans 5:8 | But God demonstrates his love for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. |
| Romans 5:12 | Therefore, just as sin came into (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) all because all have sinned —. |
| Romans 5:15 | But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if the many died through the transgression of the one, much more did the grace of God and the gift that came by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ overflow to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) the many. |
| Romans 5:16 | And the gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin; for the judgment following the one transgression led (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) to condemnation, but the free gift following the many transgressions led (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) to justification. |
| Romans 5:18 | Therefore, just as one man’s transgression brought (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) condemnation for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) all so also one man’s righteous act brought (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) justification and life for (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) all |
| Romans 5:21 | so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness leading (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
| Romans 6:3 | Or do you not know that we who were baptized into (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) Christ Jesus were baptized into (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) his death? |
| Romans 6:4 | Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we might walk in newness of life. |
| Romans 6:12 | Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) that you obey its desires. |
| Romans 6:16 | Do you not know that if you present yourselves to someone as (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) to death, or of obedience, which leads (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) to righteousness? |
| Romans 6:17 | But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) that pattern of teaching to which you were committed, |
| Romans 6:19 | (I am speaking in human terms because of your natural limitations.) For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, leading (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) to sanctification. |
| Romans 6:22 | But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, the fruit you get leads (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) to sanctification, and its outcome, eternal life. |
| Romans 7:4 | So then, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ that (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) you might belong to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, so that we might bear fruit for God. |
| Romans 7:5 | For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our bodies to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) bear fruit for death. |
| Romans 7:10 | and I died. I found that the very commandment that promised (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) life brought (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) death to me! |
| Romans 8:7 | because the mind set on the flesh is hostile to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) God; it does not submit to the law of God; in fact, it cannot. |
| Romans 8:15 | For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading back to (eis | εἰς | prep-acc) fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption. By him we cry out, “Abba! Father!” |
