        How to Choose Your Top Bibles in Logos - LogosTalk
        One of the most frequent things I do in Logos—and I’m betting you do the same thing—is search for a specific verse or group of verses. My searches can seem pretty random, like the time I looked for every time the Bible talks about “war.” Searching for “war” in all your Bibles is easy: It’s …

        Yes please can I search a specific Type of book say for instance Encyclopedia or Lexicon

      3. John C Connell Jr. 5 days ago

        You can make a Collection of Commentaries, Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, etc. and search the Collection. A very neat trick! I have Collections of all my favorite resource types.

      I'm using Logos 8.4. I'd like to find uses of εαν in the "if" clause of conditional constructions that are connected with a future tense verb in the "then" clause of the condition. For example, constructions like 1 Tim 2:15: "she WILL BE SAVED (future) IF (εαν) they continue ..." What search string do I use?

      1. Dave Hooton 7 days ago

        This is crude, but you can easily examine the 20 or so verses. Start with lemma:ἐάν WITHIN 2-4 WORDS @VF in a Greek bible. Then lemma:ἐάν WITHIN 5-6 WORDS @VF, as this gives 1 Tim 2:15. Keep widening the scope for more results e.g. 7-8, 9-10 A Syntax Search is usually best, but the clause constructs are complicated, and probably not worth the effort (mine!), except to examine results from the text Search.

      I am using Logos 8.4. I am trying to do a search for the New Testament passages that quote passages, or refers to passages n Genesis. Can that be done, or is that too vague?

      1. Daniel Bagley a month ago

        You can find the "New Testament Use of the Old Testament" in your "Tool" section. Once selected, choose Genesis under "Book (Source)" and you will see 228 results.

      2. Phil Gons (Faithlife) a month ago — Edited

        Derek Chancellor, as Daniel Bagley said, you can do this with the NT Use of the OT interactive: https://ref.ly/logosres/interactive:ntuseofot. But you can also do this in Bible Browser: https://ref.ly/logos4/BibleBrowser?res=LLS%3aNIV2011&context=Verse&facets=CategoryId%3dIntertext%5e2%7cCategoryTitle%3dSource%7cTermId%3dbk.%2525BookOfGenesis_Writing%7cTermTitle%3dGenesis. Or in search: {Label Intertext WHERE Corpus ~ "New Testament" AND Relationship ~ "Citation" AND Source ~ <Genesis>}. There are 10 direct quotations of Genesis in the NT. If you broaden to allusions, etc., you'll get 152 with {Label Intertext WHERE Corpus ~ "New Testament" AND Source ~ <Genesis>}: https://ref.ly/logos4/Search?kind=BibleSearch&q=%7BLabel+Intertext+WHERE+Corpus+~+%22New+Testament%22+AND+Source+~+%3CGenesis%3E%7D&match=nostem&exactref=true&in=raw%3aSingle%7CResourceId%3dLLS%3aNIV2011.

        Thanks for the help. I figured Logos could do what I wanted, if I could just find out how. Very powerful program!

      I recently purchased Logos 8 Academic Essentials. I wanted to search the frequency of the use of the verb μένω in the Synoptic Gospels as well as Johannine Literature in the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece. I was delighted to find that I could indeed do this and locate the use of μένω in any tense, person, mood, voice, etc. In other words, I could find the use of this verb whether it meant, for example, I will remain, to remain, having remained, they were remaining, she might remain, etc. Unfortunately, I did not make a note of what steps I took to do this using Logos 8 Academic Essentials. I have a MacBook Pro and was prompted to do a software update. Which meant retarting my computer. I cannot now find how I managed to do this particular kind of word search in the Greek text. I spoke with Customer Support at Logos and they referred me to you. I would deeply appreciate any guidance on this. Russell Davis

        Try opening a search window and selecting the NA resource in "Bible Search" Then type "menw" (assuming you don't have a Greek keyboard) into the search box and you will get a dropdown menu with a couple of options. Select the one you want and run the search (image 1). Does this give you what you are looking for? But also worth knowing that you can look at search history - click the small triangle at the top right - so you should be able to go back to your previous search anyway (image 2)

        Thank you! This is most helpful!

      3. Phil Gons (Faithlife) a month ago

        Russell Davis, you can also do this from the resource right-click context menu. 1. Open the NA28 (https://ref.ly/logosres/na28). 2. Find a passage that has μένω in it, such as John 15. 3. Right click on the word. 4. On the right side of the context menu, select the lemma. 5. On the left side of the context menu, choose either "Search this resource" or "Search this resource (inline)." 6. Narrow the passage range as desired. 7. In the search panel you can optionally graph your search results.

      Is there a way to search for all repeated roots in a pericope? So for example, could I search for all the root words that are repeated in Proverbs 15? If so, how would I accomplish this search? Thanks!

      2. Michael P. Roe a month ago

        Thanks for the reply Phil. I appreciate it.

      3. Phil Gons (Faithlife) a month ago

        Michael P. Roe, glad to help. I'm curious which of these approaches best meets your needs. Any ways you'd like to see us make finding repeated roots better?

      4. Michael Hite a month ago — Edited

        While a bit more mechanical you can also do a Morph Search narrowed to Proverbs 15 and search @N OR @V OR @J - this will find all the roots of major words (Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives) but excluded roots for articles, particles, propositions, etc...(include OR @B for Adverbs) The Concordance tool allows this type of filtering as well though

      How to duplicate the information tool?

      1. Phil Gons (Faithlife) a month ago

        Phil Owen, the Informational tool is a single-instance panel and can't be opened in two panels concurrently. What problem are you trying to solve with two instances?
