STRONG'S CONCORDANCE Note: Most Greek definitions on the WEB provide only the abbreviated version of Thayer's definition. This resource gives the full Thayer definition and also has another lexicon called "HELPS" which has brief, but often helpful notes on the Greek words. See following note for instructions on how to identify the Strong's number. |

0001 - 0999 |
|
ENTER Strong's Number To find the Strong's # for a word use main Verse lookup at the top of this page. When it opens select "Strong's interlinear Bible" and click the word of interest - it will open a lexicon with Strong's number in the top left. E.g., enter Jn 1:1. Click Strong's Interlinear. Click the word "beginning" and note Strong's #746. If you would like Thayer's full definition of the Greek Word, click the appropriate Strong's # range in STRONG'S CONCORDANCE FOR GREEK WORDS (box directly above this box). So in the case of "beginning," Strong's # 746, you would select 0001-0999, scroll down to 746, click it and retrieve Thayer's full definition (and other lexicon information). Note: These definitions are the abbreviated Thayer's definitions. However, they do have an interesting, potentially useful addition of the full definitions from the Liddell-Scott Lexicon. This Lexicon gives the definition of the Greek word as it was used in Secular Greek Culture. This lexicon does use a lot of original Greek but the definitions are still in English. Also be sure to note the list of Scriptures that use the word (in KJV, NAS, HCS). Click the book in which the word is found and it will give you the English rendering highlighted for quick review. This is a great way to do your own Word Study by noting the nuances of the uses in the verses (and you can click the verse to enable you to read it in context which is often necessary to get an accurate sense of the meaning of the word in a given passage). |
