Hi Ted, 

In order to recommend a lexicon or word study tool it would be helpful to
know what you already have.
Myself, I wouldn't want to be without BDAG, LSJ, TDNT, Louw-Nida, and Kubo
in that order, each for different purposes. Others likely will recommend
something more recent or biased differently than Kittel's TDNT. We all know
no lexicon is infallible, but BDAG and TDNT (and LSJ to some extent) at
least provide enough information to improve on their interpretations.
