Jeffrey,
Lists of English to Greek words for the NT are found in the Young's Analytical Concordance for the Authorized Version. The Greek word is in Grk aphabet and
transliterated as well.
In An Analytical Concordance to the Revised Standard Version of the New Testament published by Nelson the Greek and Hebrew words are listed against the
English entry and are keyed to concordance entry by number.
I am sure that there are others for the newer translations.
The Strong's Concordance is of little use because it uses numbers and there is the constant need to flop from front to back to find out which word you are
working with.
Those are ones I have used.
Peter
