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.

Something like the lemma section of the Bible Word Study but filter by passage reference?
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

This is a nice idea. Apart from MJ's suggestion, this info could appear in the Information tool.

If could work in the information tool if it is pared down to just the definition listed in that context and not the whole lexical entry. Although I would prefer a stand alone tool.
I would like to simply look at the definitions that has that verse listed without the clutter of other Greek works, verses, ect. Like in my example.

It would have to be a little more robust than what the Bible Word Study offers. There are still allot of gaps in the definitions listed. For example Louw-Nida has no definitions listed at all. Bdag has only simple definitions listed not the expanded definition listed and I would want only the ones that are listed with the particular passage.

That is what I like to see here https://community.logos.com/forums/p/122788/802274.aspx#802274 . But I would also like a stand alone option to view definitions in context side by side without all the clutter. This would include the expanded definitions in BDAG.
