Your examples reminded me of  1 Cor 2:13b,

en didaktios pneumatos, pneumatikois pneumatika sugkrinontes.

>My favourite verse to illustrate the three grammatical genders is Ephesians

>EIS in one verse.

>Another one is 1 Chron 11:2:
>KAI EIPEN KURIOS O QEOS SOU SOI SU POIMANEIS TON LAON MOU TON ISRAHL, with 
>three cases of SU in a row.

>I am sure there are many others in the NT and LXX .Feel free to share them.
