If you are not familiar with using a full reference size concordance, don't be put off by fear. I own a huge Young's Concordance, and even that publication includes cross references to Strong's numbers. Many study bibles and reference publications include cross references to Strong's numbering system. The Strong's (we use the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance edition) seems to be the gold standard in this area of publication. But the Strong's helps, both with sorting out error and just simply understanding original language intent and meaning. Well, the same is true of your KJV (shocking, huh?). For example, would you argue that the thousands of new bibles that we are shipping overseas now days in the Chinese or Arabic tongue are translated perfectly, clearly, and without error, by holy inspiration of God? Probably not, but they are GOOD ENOUGH and will serve their purpose well. However, would you believe that ALL (including the KJV) English translations contain erroneous, or just sometimes ambiguous or weak, word translations? There are a variety of reasons for this and the mistakes or weaknesses were not necessarily inserted with evil intent.

Very handy for locating a chapter/verse that you can't fully recall. Another basic function, the concordance will allow you to select a word and locate every place in the Bible where that word is used. Functions: In its most basic usage, the concordance allows you to select any word in your Bible, and see what that original word was in Hebrew or Greek, and what it means in that language. Incorporating a comprehensive concordance into your bible study will revolutionize the whole experience for you. Big mistake! As another reviewer suggested, you should buy one of these right after you purchase your Bible. I didn't own or use one of these until I was in my 40's.
