I understand that anarthrous nouns in Greek can be used qualitatively,
but I'm having a hard time finding examples of a qualitative QEOS being
used in John (for now, I wish to avoid the question of Jn1:1).

Is Jn1:12 (TEKNA QEOU -- "children of God") such an example?

Or, what about v13 (hOI OUK EC hAIMATWN ... ALL EK QEOU EGENNHQHSAN --
"who were born not of blood ... but of God")?

BAGD was not helpful.
