Notes:
When ejk is followed by a word beginning with a vowel, it is written ejx.
If you are really curious, the preposition proper is ejx. When it is followed by a word beginning with a consonant, the "sigma" in the xi drops out (think of x as "xs") because it is an "interconsonantal sigma," i.e., the sigma occurs between two consonants (exs + consonant goes to ex to ejk).

| Romans 3:20 | So by (ex | ἐξ | prep-gen) the works of the law no flesh will be justified before him, because through the law comes the knowledge of sin. |

| Romans 4:16 | For this reason the promise is based (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) on faith, that it may depend on grace and be made certain to all his descendants, not only to those who are under (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) the law, but also to those who share (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all. |

| Romans 6:4 | Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) the dead by the glory of the Father, we might walk in newness of life. |

| Romans 7:4 | So then, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ that you might belong to another, to the one who was raised from (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) the dead, so that we might bear fruit for God. |

| Romans 8:11 | But if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ Jesus from (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you. |
| Romans 9:5 | To them belong the patriarchs, and from (ex | ἐξ | prep-gen) them by human descent came the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen. |
| Romans 9:6 | But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from (ex | ἐξ | prep-gen) Israel are actually Israel; |
| Romans 9:10 | Not only that, but when Rebecca had conceived twins by (ex | ἐξ | prep-gen) one man, our forefather Isaac — |

| Romans 9:21 | Has the potter no right to make from (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) the same lump of clay some pottery for a special occasion and other for common use? |
| Romans 9:24 | even us, whom he has called, not only from (ex | ἐξ | prep-gen) the Jews, but also from (ex | ἐξ | prep-gen) the Gentiles. |
| Romans 9:30 | What then shall we say? — that the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have obtained it, the righteousness that is by (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) faith; |
| Romans 9:32 | Why not? Because they did not pursue it by (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) faith, but as though it were by (ex | ἐξ | prep-gen) works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone, |
| Romans 10:5 | For Moses writes regarding the righteousness that is based (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) on the law, “The person committed to these things must live by them.” |
| Romans 10:6 | But the righteousness based (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down), |
| Romans 10:7 | or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) the dead).” |
| Romans 10:9 | that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from (ek | ἐκ | prep-gen) the dead, you will be saved. |
| Romans 10:17 | So faith comes from (ex | ἐξ | prep-gen) hearing the message, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ. |
