ἐπὶ epi “of”

This intended visit of mine is my third visit to you. "On the evidence of two or three witnesses every charge shall be sustained."

ἐπὶ epi “In [the]”

ἐπὶ epi “of”ἐφ᾽ eph᾽ “of”

Now I say that so long as an heir is a child, he in no respect differs from a slave, although he is the owner of everything,

ἐφ᾽ eph᾽ “for”

Now, however, having come to know God--or rather to be known by Him--how is it you are again turning back to weak and worthless rudimentary notions to which you are once more willing to be enslaved?

ἐπὶ epi “to”

You however, brethren, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an excuse for giving way to your lower natures; but become bondservants to one another in a spirit of love.

ἐπ᾽ ep᾽ “to”

And all who shall regulate their lives by this principle--may peace and mercy be given to them--and to the true Israel of God.
