The thought about "normalizing" crossed my mind, but Q is about overall preference/frequency, and that isn't affected by "weighting". But yes, the distribution has some quite fascinating facets! E.g., One wonders in 1 Thess also whether the ἀδελφοί language is cementing what was still a very freshly forged "familial" relationship. | |

Realizing the books vary in length (some normalization based on length would be interesting), it is still intriguing to see the emphasis of ἐκκλησία for the Corinthians (35% in 1 Cor, 50% adding 2 Cor) dealing with issues of their assembly (1 Cor 1:10-17). Additionally, 35% of the uses of ἀδελφοί were in those two books also, as he tried to emphasize unity. Other similar things jump out: 24% of ἅγιοι in Eph, which deals with being and living sanctified, 18% of ἀδελφοί in 1 Thes with a church Paul had to leave quickly (Act 17:1-10, 1 Thes 2:17), showing his attachment and care. | |
