    A look into a lexicon with semantic domains (Louw-Nida https://ref.ly/logosres/louwnida?ref=LouwNida.22.42-22.47 ) or "concepts" (NIDNTTE https://ref.ly/logosres/nidnttrev?hw=Silence ) may help 

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    Louw and Nida would probably be the best option in Logos 

    Lenz' "The Greek Word Study Thesaurus" is "gathering interest" on Logos, but Amazon has it in print and on Kindle.

    Also Synonyms of the New Testament by Trench but it is not complete and has no entry for peace. Girdlestone has Synonyms of the Old Testament.
