"Bauer-Arndt-Gingrich" is the standard one-volume lexicon to New Testament Greek; it is most useful for quick reference. It gives the history of a Greek word, indicating its use in classical and Hellenistic Greek literature, the Septuagint (the Greek version of the Old Testament), and later Greek, as well as the New Testament occurrences themselves. Another work should be used for more detailed word studies.

Edited by Gerhard Kittel.
Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1964-1976. 10 volumes.
"Kittel" is the standard work for biblical-Greek word studies. More than 2300 theologically significant New Testament words are examined. Each article includes a discussion of the etymology of the word, its usage in classical and Hellenistic Greek, in the Septuagint, and in the New Testament. When a word has a Hebrew parallel in the Old Testament, a brief treatment of the Hebrew word is given.
