Do you know any books that have that full meaning in it? Do you know if the
Vine’s does? I have run into this with the
Strong’s that I have. I would like to have one that has more of the Greek words in it so I can get the fuller meaning in cases like this.
I’m currently considering buying the
Septuagint to help with my study of the Greek.
The only way around this to the best of my knowledge is to make use of a number of sources, including some of the more scholary resources far beyond Strongs. If one uses an interlinear program, most of the interlinears will give the grammer of the word, such as Kecharitomene, then using a Greek Grammer book or two, easier with a program one can find the definition of that particular grammer. Example KeCharitomene is a perfect passive participle, which means it is a perfectly completed action in the past with a continuance of the action at present. So perfectly completed action on Mary is the base word charito which is grace. Logos though expensive makes use and has available these scholarly works. It also has built in capablility of typing the Greek letters once you figure out a key so as to look up greek words. Two of the most highly recomended scholarly works are:
“A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature Third Edition (BDAG)”
Chicago, Illinois, USA: University of Chicago Press. 1979. H Cloth. Good. “a translation and adaptation of the fourth revised and augmented edition of
Walter Bauer’s Griechisch-Deutsches Worterbuch zu den Schriften des Neuen Testaments und der ubrigen urchristlichen Literatur”. "Second Edition,
Revised and Augmented by F. Wilbur Gingrich and Frederick W. Danker from Walter Bauer’s Fifth Edition,
If the title of this grammar seems similar to another heavyweight tool for Greek study, it’s no accident. In fact, Robert W. Funk consciously styled his translation of Blass-Debrunner’s grammar after Bauer’s
Greek-English Lexicon, calling them “twin tools for the study of the language of the primitive church.” And it’s no exaggeration to say that
A Greek Grammar of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature (BDF) is just as essential for serious study of the Greek New Testament as
A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature (
BDAG).
