| Romans 11:24 | For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these (houtoi | οὗτοι | nom pl masc), the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree? |
| Romans 11:25 | I do not want you to be uninformed, my brothers, of this (touto | τοῦτο | acc sg neut) mystery — so that you may not be wise in your own conceits — that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. |

| Romans 13:11 | And live this (touto | τοῦτο | acc sg neut) way because you are aware of the time, that the hour has come for us to wake from sleep, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. |
| Romans 14:9 | the reason why Christ died and rose to life again was that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. |
