How can I find synonyms for Greek words? I am studying the Greek term εἰρήνη. I want to know the synonyms for the terms.

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

Gregory Lawhorn

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.
