I have yet to figure out how to do that myself.
I often wondered about 1 Timothy 2:1.
'First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions s and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men,...'
So two or three of these sound like repeats. Entreaties, petitions, and prayers. ??

Thanks.
 
In order to do this yourself, you can use a book or a bible program. There is a book named "Strong's" and another book named "Young's" and they are concordances.
You can also use blue letter bible for free and put in the verse. You have to click on the tools and "C" is for concordance.

It is also important to choose which meaning best fits the context so a trunk can mean pants, an elephant, a car, etc. That is why you have to choose which word best fits the context.

1 Timothy 2:1 KJV
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

First of all I strongly engourage that you earnestly ask, pray for, intervene for, and give thanks for all men.

If you download and use a bible software program (like the one in the 3rd link from the left in my signature, i.e., TheWord) you can simply click on a word and the Strong's definition will appear in a window. If you need help setting this up, let me know. Also, if you ever need an indepth definition of word, I have about 20 lexicons.dictionaries, and would be glad to help you out. Just let me know.

As to 1 Timothy 2:1 (in order). This took about 30 seconds to do.
