Are you using any greek hebrew tools for bible studies now?

Logos is the best.
Currently using the silver edition, but many tell me that Accordance would be even better for just studying the hrbrew and Greek texts, while Logos best for the full library
Among writing scholars, whom I know a few, Logos is the tool of choice.
I enjoy using mine, but just was saying many support Accordance as the best fro just original languages studies
I used a trial version of Accordance for "Evaluation Purposes" while taking my Greek courses in Seminary but have been meaning to get Logos because it is, in fact the "Industry Standard" but I am a procrastinator.
I am, however, amazed at how much "mileage" you can get out of "Bible Hub" which you can use for absolutely free! You have all the Greek tools along with just about any Greek text you would like to evaluate along with the Septuagent and Masoretic Text. You have access to a significant number of Bible commentaries and just about any Bible version you can think of so what else do you need?

Our Greek classes used Mounce's material and he likes Accordance so his reference materials integrate really well with Accordance.
Aslo have found blue letter bible site useful
never used Bibleworks, but that was also said to be a really nice alternative to Accordance back in the day, and my first advanced software for original languages studiers was Gramcord
I'm not in a position to use any kind of Greek translation but I still find Greek to be a very valuable study to catch the nuances of the text. Bible Hub is my go to. Even while my pastor is teaching, I can look up and verify what he is teaching when he refers to the Greek.

BibleHub and Blue Letter Bible are good for everyday, but keep in mind they use Strong's and Thayer's, which were state of the art for a century ago and are fairly outdated now. Archaeological discoveries like the Dead Sea Scrolls and Egyptian papyri weren't available to them, for example. So probably not adequate for proper academic research.
I don't read Greek and don't use any serious electronic tools, but on those occasions when I need a deep word study, my nearby library has BDAG and NIDNTT in the stacks.

NET Bible has become a favorite of mine. I love this as much as my NIV. The footnote edition of the NET is VERY reliable.
I minored in Greek in college so that I could focus more on Hebrew in Seminary. So, I can make my way through the original languages.

Those 2 sources would qualify as "serious study" tools, and still using my older BGAD lexicon, as newest one seemed in places gone over to being PC nopw

The one in the stacks is actually the second English edition. So actually BAGD rather than BDAG.
Good, as think that would be fine to use as a pastor teacher, as would only see need for latest edition if doing some translation or trying to get Phd studies doneThe one in the stacks is actually the second English edition. So actually BAGD rather than BDAG.
