I am certain that this has likely been covered somewhere, but I am not certain how to search for it - which is apparently an ongoing theme with me.  Is there a way to compare the words used in a text against each other? e.g. I would like to compare the # of times brother is used in James against the entirety of other words in James itself and determine the words used most/least. It is really for my own benefit, but I thought that might be a good tool. Any thoughts?

    You can do this with the concordance tool...

    You can then compare this to the results of whichever passage ranges you specify

    Don't forget to select Bible Text 499 first, where "brothers" occurs 19x and also includes "brother". If you don't want that then deselect Combine all word forms.
