Suggestion New Tool: Compare Lexicons in Context

I would like to be able to compare the various lexicons that list a passage in the definition.  For example if BDAG list a verse under definition #3 I would have that definition listed.  If DBL has that passage under definition under #5 I would list that definition.  Lastly I would have those definitions all listed together so I can easily compare the meaning of that word in context with the various lexicons.    

It would look somewhat like this:

2 Thessalonians 3:6 Disorderly (NKJV) ἀτάκτως

BDAG  in defiance of good order, disorderly; behave irresponsibly

The Complete Word Study Dictionary  In a disorderly manner, irregularly

DBL  lazily, in idleness, i.e., refusing to work

Vine  “disorderly, with slackness” (like soldiers not keeping rank) 2 Thess. 3:6; in v. 11 it is said of those in the church who refused to work, and became busybodies

Louw and Nida  pertaining to refusing to work—‘idle, lazy, lazily.’

Sense Lexicon  in a manor not submitting to discipline and order  

The Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament of the brother whose conduct is disorderly (i.e., not according to the tradition), or of those living in an irresponsible manner, who no longer work

If there are other who like this idea let me know.

    For things related to the beta, I suspect it will be seen more quickly and reliably in the beta thread than in the Now thread which is more stable release oriented. I might be wrong but ...
