How to: when (greek lemma) is translated as (english word/phrase)

[mikes]

I'm trying to find a less laborious way of constructing search results that can tell me things like:

Where is ἐπὶ translated as "on behalf of"?

This one is rather easy one to do "manually" by searching for ἐπὶ with the dative and scanning the results in a parallel english bible window, but I'd like to find a more effective way of doing this. I was thinking it could be possible using a key numbered text, but I'd like to be able to run the search on non-keyed texts if at all possible.

 

Thanks!

This can be done rather easily with the [CONTENTS] command. Simply open a tab with the translation tyou want to search, and enter

on behalf of

[CONTENTS GNT-T]

or whatever the name of the tab is where you performed the original search.

 

This is not entirely accurate, as the phrase could have been used to translate another word in the same verse, but it will help to narrow it down.

 

To find the verses where that phrase does not occur, search for:

[CONTENTS GNT-T]

Dr. J covers this command in last weeks podcast on Connecting Commands.
