I agree....
And if you're poor like me...lol

It can be a little challenging to navigate at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's amazing. It includes the Thayer's lexicon for the Greek words and Gesenius' lexicon for Hebrew. Both are very good resources.
There are still downfalls to this study system, but it's free. And hasn't let me down yet when translating for a teacher who speaks Hebrew. So I figure it's good enough.
Here's how I navigate, using
Luke 1:35 for an example.
Go to
www.blueletterbible.com
Near the top it says: New Bible Search.
Type
Luke 1:35 in that box and press enter.
It takes you to Luke chapter 1, and should put verse 35 at the top of your screen.
To the left are 6 blue boxes. Click on the C.
That pulls up the Greek text and under that each word set in a table across from the Greek word it was translated from with the Strong's number in between them.
You're curious about "thing". So go down to "that holy thing" and click on the G40 in the Strong's number box. It'll take you to the entry for G40. It'll give you the transliteration, pronunciation, root, Biblical usage, and below that the Thayer's lexicon entry. Most entries need to be expanded, click where it says "click here for the rest of the entry" if you're curious what Thayer's has to say.
If you're not at all familiar with lexicons, the italics is the meaning the other words are explaining it. (really hope I'm not being too basic here! I just remember the first time I looked at a lexicon...wow..lol)
