If you are like me, you use the ESV Online a lot. I'm always referencing it and using the ESV Study Bible notes. Now you can for $10 get lifetime access to ESV GreekTools...
ESV GreekTools puts the original language of the New Testament into the hands of beginning and advanced students, as well as seasoned pastors, scholars, and laymen looking for an affordable and accessible Greek reference tool. Intuitive, easy-to-use, and fully customizable, ESV GreekTools is an online application available through the ESVBible.org platform. Now you can do serious work with the Greek text, at home or on the go, no matter your level of proficiency.
Features:
- Complete NA27 Greek text
- ESV interlinear and reverse-interlinear renderings of the text
- Complete data set for each word, including lexical data, contextual and morphological information (including parsings), and Strong’s number.
- Powerful search tool that lets users search by Greek word, transliterated Greek word, Strong’s number, English word, or any combination of those values
- Complete English and Greek concordances
- Customizable interface that works seamlessly with other ESVBible.org features, including study resources and notes.
I already bought my ESV GreekTools. Go get it.
Thanks for posting that! At the very least, it's a reminder to me to take advantage of my esv online membership.
Just wondering though, how thorough is the lexical info? Do you know which lexicon it's from? Cos most of those other features are available in free software like eSword/theWord.

Hi Andy - ESV GreekTools includes the following contextual and lexical information: NA27 Greek Words (which, due to licensing issues, cannot be used by free programs...most use free domain Greek texts), Greek Root Words following the spellings of most major lexicons and software programs, transliterations of those words, Strong's Numbers, and Parsings. Each root can be searched in its entirety, or with specific morphological limiters to filter the results, a feature that most free applications do not include. We also hope to soon include at least one or two academic lexicons.
