Kubo is a good starting point for getting those lists of words, but I'd
recommend not leaving it at that. Follow up the words Kubo points out
in BDAG to get some feedback on semantic range and usage in context. I
recently expressed the problem with Kubo, which is that it's not
contextual, although one would naturally assume that it is. IE it can
dilute (or prevent from developing) your nuanced understanding of vocab
if you use only Kubo.
Beyond this, check cross-references to the LXX, the grand lexicon to the
NT, and see how the words are used there and how the NT author might be
interacting with it. The LXX is available on my site but Kubo and BDAG
can't be legally found on the web I think.
