Greek Word Lists by Scripture Passage

You can create a new Word List from the Documents menu. Then click 'Add', and type your passage in. It will give you the total of times that word occurs in that passage, not in the NT.

If you want the totals to show the number of occurrences in the NT, it's a bit harder. The only way I know of is to create a Word List for the entire NT, and then merge it with your Colossians word list, using the 'intersection' method. That will give you a new list, of all the words in the Colossians passage, and with the two counts added together (the entire NT count, plus the Colossians count). Obviously that means the count is wrong for our purposes.

You would then need to export the merged list and the Colossians list into Excel, and move the columns around and create a simple formula to calculate the right number of occurrences. You're left with the words from Colossians, but the count from the NT as a whole.

<edit>Make sure your lists are sorted alphabetically before exporting. If the two lists are not in the same order, you formulas will probably be using the wrong data. My first attempt had the wrong figures because I didn't do this.</edit>

Once you're done, you'll be able to see that there are fifteen hapax legomenas in the passage, including καταβραβεύω (to condemn) and φιλοσοφία (philosophy).

That is helpful Mark but I was also hoping that it would list the total number of times each word in that passage occurred in the NT.

[not from a Logos resource, but this might help....The Greek New Testament contains 686 hapax legomena, of which

62 occur in 1 Peter,

54 occur in 2 Peter.[13] -]

Theological Lexicon of the Old Testament has a list of hapax legomena in the OT, I could not find a list of the entire NT anywhere; there are some references to specific books, like I found a chart of the words for Proverbs.

In my "ideal world" I thought their may have been a Logos resource that actually listed each word that occurs in the text and shows the number of times it is in a passage and the total number of times it is in the NT.

I may be misunderstanding what you are asking for, but doesn't the Enhanced Strong's Lexicon do most of this?

There are many ways to discover this information but I am looking for a way that puts them all together in a way that Sakae Kubo does. Right now I'm beginning to believe that there may not be another resource like it which somewhat surprises me.

sssshhhhhh.............. dont tell everyone. I ordered mine today, just couldn't resist the hardcopy....[img]http://www.websmileys.com/sm/animal/460.gif[/img]

Did you seriously do this? Do you mind me asking why?

It's always good to have a hard copy.......especially when dealing w/this electronic age. Remember "The Book of Eli"/?

Mark, you have gone above and beyond with this spreadsheet. Well done. Thanks for sharing it. As I thought about this more it makes me wonder if some Logos resource hasn't already done all this work but that's been my ongoing question.

It's easy enough to convert to a Personal Book so it can be used within Logos. I'm intending to do that soon, but thought I'd post the spreadsheet in case anyone spotted any problems.

VUALA...........It finally came to me.

When I first learned to read Greek I used to use a resource called "A Reader's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament" by Sakae Kubo. It was an excellent tool that would help me with vocabulary as I read (before the digital age). It lists the "special vocabulary" for each NT book and then goes through each book verse by verses listing the words that occur. The first number was the number of times the word was in the particular book and the second number was the number of times it was in the NT.Then it gave an English translation in context. It was a great tool. Has anyone else used this book in their past?

I don't have the book any more since I gave it to my son who is just learning to read Greek himself but here is an example from 2 Tim. 2:4 στρατολογέω (1 1) enlist soldiers.

I can't see Logos ever carrying a book like this since the software does so much of what the book does but one thing that Logos software does do is show the occurrences both within the book and within the NT.

But maybe there is another resource that does the same thing? I can only hope someone will point it out to me.

I came to post a link to this (I recommended it a few years ago).  I see that someone has already mentioned it - but here is the link:

I would very much like to see this in LOGOS.

Mark, if you do this please let me know. I would like to add it to my personal books as well. Thanks.
