The believer should learn both the Greek and Hebrew alphabets thoroughly. This will enable the use of lexicons and study helps such as Abbot-Smith, Arndt and Gingrich, Harper’s Analytical Greek Lexicon, Bagster’s Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon coupled with Vine Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words.

Also, you can find the exact Greek or Hebrew word from the English in either the popular Strong’s or Young’s concordance. It all starts with learning the alphabet thoroughly.
