Even if you don't read Greek, this is a helpful reference volume. Contains interlinear literal translations of Greek words together with their Strong's numbers; NRSV text appears in the margin.

The Word Study Greek-English New Testament is an indispensable exegetical tool for serious Bible students. It is an interlinear text where each Greek word is numbered according to Strong's system and indexed in the back. The English text is editor McReynolds' own literal translation of the Greek.
Greek words are cross-referenced with several important reference works, including Colin Brown's Dictionary of New Testament Theology, Kittel's Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, Arndt and Gingrich's Greek-English Lexicon, and Louw and Nida's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament based on Semantic Domains. The number of NT occurrences of each Greek word is listed and for compound words, the root words are referenced.
Besides the wealth of lexical cross-references, another strength is McReynolds' translation of each Greek word literally and uniformly throughout the entire New Testament. That can often make the English sound clunky, but the consistency of translation makes it easier to identify where biblical writers used the same word multiple times, and also allows the exegete to determine the meaning of those words in context.
It's a great resource, and highly recommended.
