Here is a free on-line one that you just put in at the top the scripture reference and it will come up. You can click on various things after that and look around at things. This is very useful.
Luke 17:21 Interlinear: nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign of God is within you.'

Oh...I will never figure that out. I need one in my hands to figure out how to use it! I will poke around but...I already know I will just get confused with an online one
Yes it does. Some words are primary and they don't really have a root. Here is an example of clicking on "kingdom " in Luke 17:21
Strong's Greek: 932. βασιλεία (basileia) -- kingdom, sovereignty, royal power

This will probably sound crazy but...I have become so used to using my strongs and God gives me the connections so...I am an old dog and should just stick to this. I thought an interlinear would be quicker but I am so set in my ways! I didn't want it to learn Greek but just as a faster concordance. Haha!
I can understand that. The problem with Strong's is that it is a book that shows how the KJV translators translated the words which may or may not be exactly that accurate. I just shows how the interpreters of the KJV used a word.
Strong's is the last one I look at when looking at a particular Greek word.
But if you feel comfortable - then use it for sure! The Holy Spirit will show you great things about Christ.

I agree....without relying on the Holy Spirit to reveal Christ to us - the understanding we can get from books may or may not be accurate and it can be based on our own human interpretation and natural wisdom.
All translations have some sort of bias to them when translating some words depending on their own church teachings and traditions and it happens too with the use of some words in the Greek interliners as well.
But it is a rich adventure to follow the Holy Spirit as we search out things.

If you want a hard copy of an interlinear -- the one I have and use a lot is a NASB, NIV and Greek interlinear by Alfred Marshall. You can find one on Amazon at a very reasonable price. My wife likes to use the Amplified Bible because it gives the definitions/parallels of the key words right in the text - you don't need to look them up in Strongs.
Before I abandoned an interlinear, I used the UBS interlinear. It has a side by side RSV next to it, which was one of the early modern English translations. It doesn't have notes. The English words are directly beneath the Greek, although sometimes the grammar makes it difficult to understand. My UBS Greek NT has all the manuscript variations, and which are the mostly likely variants. But the print is small, and those commas (breathing marks) go backwards and forwards over the vowels, and make a huge difference. If the light is dim, I practically need a magnifying glass to see the accent marks and breathing marks.
Accordance has absolutely everything, but it is outrageously expensive. I wish I had bought it when I started Greek, 6 years ago, but I never seem to have enough money to throw around to justify buying it. I think it comes for both PC and Mac.
