This list includes all words that occur in Colossians at least twice, or once in Colossians but five or more
times in the NT. Card numbers are given for Gromacki's Biblical Greek Vocabulary Cards. If a - is listed instead
of a number, that word does not have a card. Words are listed in the order of their first occurrence in
Colossians. This is a first draft printing of the list, so please make note of any errors that you find and let me
know. Thanks.
