ScriptureDirect enables the user to interact with the meaning of each New Testament Greek word through the creatively designed links between the English translation, the Greek text and the Louw & Nida dictionary. For each word all the possible meanings are shown and the best meaning for the context is indicated. Searches in the New Testament for that specific meaning can then be done.

You can select to search for any meaning in the whole New Testament, a few books or a single book.

The program lists all the references to that meaning. You can then click on any one to open it.

The meaning searches can also be done from an English list. For example:
