Topic: Thayer’s Greek Lexicon
By Joseph Henry Thayer

I have to be very careful here about this dictionary. If you seriously study Greek, then there are classical lexicons that you just have to consult, and this is one of them. It is perhaps one of the top 10 Greek lexicons out there. Thayer’s specialty is looking at the biblical Greek and comparing meanings and specifics of a biblical word usage with that of its use in classical Greek literature.

The one caveat that I would warn people with is…

…that Thayer is a unitarian, i.e. he believes in some form of modalism, i.e. that either God uses 3 persons like hats, manifestations would better describe it. The person of God moving between the three hats of Father, Son, or Spirit. But actually, he just out-right denies that Jesus is God. Look up his definition of Jesus and Christ, and you will see where he says “erroneously claimed to be God”. Read more on wikipedia.org about Thayer

In February 1891 Thayer published a lecture in which he expressed disagreement with the position of Biblical inerrancy, asserting that his own acceptance of various errors of history and science in the Bible did not materially detract from his belief in the overall soundness of Christianity. Wikipedia.org

Moulton, James and Milligan, George – Vocabulary of the Greek New Testament (Lexicon) (Updated) 1.1

Moulton and Milligan – Vocabulary of the Greek NT is a Greek lexicon focusing on the Papyrus Greek. While classical Greek is the primary focus of most lexicons, Greek, as spoken in Egypt, is a helpful cross study.

The Vocabulary of the Greek Testament Illustrated from the Papyri and Other Non-Literary Sources, by James Hope Mouton and George Milligan, is a classic among Greek academics.

This resource is a lexicon of NT vocabulary found also in “non-literary” papyri (e.g., letters, legal documents, etc.) and has been reprinted many times since the 1920s.

The source documents used are from hordes of papyri that were found in the late 1800′s and early 1900′s, focused on papyri usage of vocabulary items that occur in the Greek New Testament. This resource examines how these under-utilized papyri use the same words found in the Greek New Testament. That’s why this resource is largely complementary to BDAG–the source documents are different!

Quite simply: There is no other Greek resource like this one, especially for a fascinating glimpse of how NT vocabulary was also used “on the street” in the earliest Christian centuries.

About the Digitization of this Resource
This resource was digitized and keyed to Strong’s numbers by Allan Loder.

[Editorial Note: This is not the poor quality version previously available for theWord! This resource was digitized by an expert in Greek, so the Greek is not garbled. Mr. Loder also keyed the Strong’s numbers to the entries, making this resource vastly superior to others.]

From Wordmodules on

The purpose of this module is to make this resource available to a wider English-speaking audience—especially those whose knowledge of the Biblical languages is very basic, “rusty,” or non-existent. Trench’s Synonyms of the NT holds a wealth of information on many Greek words used in the New Testament. But unless you can read Greek, Hebrew and Latin, you are likely to miss out on a lot by having to skip over those sections.

Version 3.0 has the following changes and additions: Popup links to LXX references in Greek-English interlinear format added.

I have keyed each Greek and Hebrew word to Strong’s numbers, both in the headings and in the body of the text. This creates a hyperlink between this dictionary module and any Bible module (with Greek words, such as the TR+ or IGNT Interlinear module) in theWord that is keyed to Strong’s. If you have this module open and click on a Greek word in the Bible text that happens to be discussed in Trench’s ‘Synonyms,’ it will open automatically to that entry.

In cases where Trench discusses a word found in the Classical and/or Patristic Greek, but not found in the NT, I have linked that word to its definition in Liddell-Scott-Jones Greek-English Lexicon. (Note: The LSJ module may be downloaded for free from www.theword.net. This is indicated by a superscripted [LSJ] next to the word. For example, τέμενος[LSJ] [“sacred enclosure”].

I have provided inline translations for nearly all Greek, Hebrew and Latin text, where it was deemed practical and useful. Such translations are indicated in [“dark blue text, and placed inside square brackets”].

I provided an index at the end of the module. Each Greek word is keyed to Strong’s for quick reference, and hyperlinked to the section in Trench’s Synonyms where it is discussed.

In certain cased I provide transliteration for Greek and Hebrew words in the body of the text. This is indicated in orange text. I did not include transliterations for words in the headings, since the transliteration of a word can be viewed simply by moving the mouse over the Strong’s number.

What’s New in Version 3.0 (See full changelog)
Each Greek and Hebrew word is keyed to Strong’s numbers, both in the headings and in the body of the text. This creates a hyperlink between this dictionary module and any Bible module with Greek text in theWord that is keyed to Strong’s (The IGNT interlinear module will work well for those with little or no Greek). If you have this module open and click on a word in the Bible text that happens to be discussed in Trench’s ‘Synonyms,’ it will open automatically to that entry.

In cases where Trench discusses a word found in the Classical and/or Patristic Greek, but not found in the NT, that word is linked to its definition in Liddell-Scott-Jones Greek-English Lexicon.

Typos corrected.
I provided an index at the end of the module. Each Greek word is keyed to Strong’s for quick reference, and hyperlinked to the section in Trench’s Synonyms where it is discussed.
Pop-up hyperlinks to references to the Septuagint text (LXX) are added, including the Apocrypha. This is from Brenton’s Greek-English text.
I have added Strong’s numbers to the module index. If you are using an English version that is keyed to Strong’s (e.g., KJV), you may click on the Strong’s number. If the word is discussed in Trench’s ‘Synonyms,’ the module will open automatically to that entry. I recommend opening the module in a window set to “general book modules” (See the F1 help file under ‘Book Modules’).

From Logos page on Trench’s work Trench’s Synonyms of the New Testament

R. C. Trench’s Synonyms of the New Testament is one of the earliest and most-quoted authorities on NT Greek word studies. Many later writers are indebted to him for their understanding of this subtle language. In fact, Trench receives a special mention in the preface of both Vine’s and Vincent’s word studies and is quoted over 140 times by Wuest and 104 times in TDNT.

Now, for the first time in electronic format, you can go straight to the source and gain insight for yourself into hundreds of words with great theological significance!

Synonyms offers 107 entries that compare and relate more than 325 words drawn from the Greek NT. Trench’s analysis is detailed and thorough, reflecting the author’s deep love of languages. He reveals the differences in meaning and connotation between synonymous words, tracing words’ history and usage by classical and biblical writers.

What distinguishes Trench’s Synonyms from other books of word studies or from a dictionary like TDNT? Simply this: Synonyms is highly focused on exploring the relationships between related clusters of words. Not only do you benefit from his original thoughts on a word (not filtered by a later scholar), but you also get a more thorough explanation of just how one word is similar to and differs from another.

Archbishop Richard C. Trench (1807-1886) was a man whose passion for words and etymology led to the creation of the first Oxford English Dictionary. This same energy and thirst for knowledge drove him to carefully identify New Testament word origins and distinguish between various shades of meaning.

Here’s an example of one of Archbishop Trench’s analyses:

On p. 239, he begins a discussion of the various NT words for sin. First, he very succinctly lays out the basic concept behind each word:

“It may be regarded as the missing of a mark or aim…(hamartia)…the overpassing or transgressing of a line…(parabasis)…the disobedience to a voice…(parkoe)…the falling where one should have stood upright (paraptoma)…ignorance of what one ought to have known…(agnoema)…diminishing of that which should have been rendered in full measure…(ettema)…non-observance of a law…(anomia or paranomia)…a discord in the harmonies of God’s universe…(plemmeleia)”

Then he goes on to expound in greater detail, over the next 10 pages, how each of these words is derived and how each differs from the others. Trench is highly sensitive to the ways word meanings shift over time and context. In his discussion of hamartia, for example, he distinguishes between Homer’s usage (signifying a thrown spear that misses its target) to that of Aristotle (a mistake, only sometimes serious) to Plato (closer to our notion of sin). Trench observes:

“It is a matter of course that with slighter apprehensions of sin, and of the evil of sin, there must go hand in hand a slighter ethical significance in the words used to express sin. It is therefore nothing wonderful that (hamartia) and (hamartanein) should nowhere in classical Greek obtain that depth of meaning which in revealed religion they have acquired.”

Interesting quote in preface to Vincent’s Word Studies:

In the histories of its choicest words, Christianity asserts itself as a redeemer of human speech. The list of New-Testament words lifted out of ignoble associations and uses, and mitred as ministers of sacred truth, is a long and significant one; and there are few more fascinating lines of study than this, to which Archbishop Trench long ago directed English readers in his “Study of Words” and his “New-Testament Synonyms.”

Sample Entry

ἀγαπάω, -ῶ,
[in LXX chiefly for H157;]
to love, to feel and exhibit esteem and goodwill to a person, to prize and delight in a thing.
1. Of human affection, to men: τ. πλησίον, Mat 5:43; τ. ἐχθρούς, Mat 5:44; to Christ, Joh 8:42; to God, Mat 22:37; c. acc rei, Luk 11:43, Joh 12:43 Eph 5:25, 2Ti 4:8; 2Ti 4:10, Heb 1:9, 1Pe 2:17, 1Pe 3:10, 2Pe 2:15, 1Jn 2:15, Rev 12:11.
2. Of divine love;
(a) God’s love: to men, Rom 8:37; to Christ, Joh 3:35;
(b) Christ’s love: to men, Mar 10:21; to God, Joh 14:31; c. cogn. acc, Joh 17:26, Eph 2:4.

SYN.: φιλέω G5368. From its supposed etymology (Thayer, LS; but v. also Boisacq) ἀ. is commonly understood properly to denote love based on esteem (diligo), as distinct from that expressed by φιλέω (amo), spontaneous natural affection, emotional and unreasoning. If this distinction holds, a. is fitly used in NT of Christian love to God and man, the spiritual affection which follows the direction of the will, and which, therefore, unlike that feeling which is instinctive and unreasoned, can be commanded as a duty. (Cf. ἀγάπη G26, and v. Tr., 12; Cremer, 9, 592; and esp. MM, VGT, s.v.)
