Especially ones that give you references on how the ancient Greeks used the same words. The Bible language isn't confined to the Bible, but was used by everyone during the time of Christ. Everyone understood each other during their time and culture. We of the 21st century haven't a clue to why Paul's meeting on the Areopagus is so important to the story of Acts. Sadly individuals spend more time making things up to fit the 21st century that they lose the true meanings of what is actually being said to US.

Thanks!

Thayer's is hopelessly outdated.

Pick up a Walter Bauer lexicon. It is the only one worth using.

Please demonstrate that with examples.

Our understanding of Koine Greek has rather expanded since Thayer put pen to paper. This included a better understanding of Koine grammar, word use, and available literature.

I do not give examples prior to coffee intake.
