What resource do I use

[Odetta]

I want to do a word study on the word "know". I want to go back to the original text for both OT and NT, because a lot of times, you know, there may be 5 different original language words that get translated into the one English word, and all those original language words have different nuances to their meaning. What resource is there for this?

Well, learning the languages would be best, but also something like Bibleworks would be incredibly useful.

I use onlinebible.net, a program you can download. "s" brings up strongs numbers in the text and it's linked to a lexicon. You can then search for the strong's number in whatever range of books you like to see other instances.

For example in 1John there are 15 instances of "eido" (know) and 21 instances of "gnosis" (know) which you couldn't distinguish in the English translation
