Will 1 John 4:7 serve your purpose?  Found that using a graphical query in Logos.

Subject: [B-Greek] Preposition example needed


I've been poking around unsuccessfully with Accordance this afternoon looking for a *simple* example to use for class. In particular, I'd like to be able to illustrate the added specificity that a preposition can make that is ambiguous with case alone. To do so, I've been trying to find an example of the same basic phrase written both with and without the preposition, e.g., "the love of God" written both as "hH AGAPH TOU QEOU" *and* as "hH AGAPH EK TOU QEOU" (or something similar). I'm not concerned with what the head word or modifier word is, just that it is a relatively simple example and that there is a parallel example--preferably both from the NT, though LXX is OK (& perhaps even Ap. Fathers). There is a similar example in Smyth, sect. 1637, but is, of course, from classical lit. Any suggestions?
