Quickly See How a Word Is Translated in Multiple Bibles

A fellow Logos user contacted me with this question:

I’m studying the word “note” in Romans 16:17 in my preferred Bible, which is the NKJV. How can I see how the underlying Greek word is translated in other Bibles?

This is a great Bible study question, and the solution can be achieved with different methods. In this blog, however, I’ll focus on perhaps the quickest way, which is the Information Tool:

Open the NKJV to Romans 16:17 (A)

Choose Tools | Lookup | Information (B)

Choose the panel menu on Information (C)
Set Update on to HOVER (D)

Rest the cursor on the word note in Romans 16:17 in the NKJV (E)
Notice the Translation section in Information displays how the underlying Greek lemma (dictionary form of the word) is translated in other interlinear Bibles (F)

Rest the cursor on a different word such as urge (G), and you’ll see the Translation section immediately update (H)

This setup is an excellent way to read through a passage noting how key words are translated in different Bibles!
