Why isn't there a Bible version that lists all possible translations for each word in the Greek?

I had stopped listening to GES about what they consider the saving message, and have returned to listening to Free Grace preachers who believe in salvation through faith, that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, that He was buried, and that He rose again from the dead the third day, true doctrines in which I believe, (although I am not sure whether they preach, or whether the gospel contains, that belief in this burial or resurrection is necessary, or belief that He rose again the third day.). So, I consider the KJV the most accurate Bible version.

But it may be helpful to see each possible rendering for a word in the Bible without having to repeatedly switch between the Bible and a Concoordance. It may shed light, through careful and faithful interpretation of scripture, on whether the KJV is, in fact, the most accurate translation of the Bible, and may prove it to be so to many without knowledge of the Koine Greek, such as myself.

Is this a good idea or a bad one? And has this ever, or will this ever, be done?

1 Corinthians 15:17
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

Paul thought it was important.

What you are looking for is provided by technology.
You want a Bible with Strong’s links. There are many free options in app stores. I have several different programs depending upon whether I am on my computer or phone, whether I am listening or referencing commentary as I go.

Thank you for your reply.

I had wanted this at some point, but I'm not sure if I did when I made this post, since I was simply trying to think of a question, wanting to write something.

Blueletterbible.org did not seem convenient for me to use. I may try some of the apps and see if they provide the meaning of the words more quickly. I think that the problem is actually that I was trying to understand grammatical information about words in the Greek, and had trouble doing so.

Sorry if my op isn't fully sincere.

Also thank you for telling me that Paul thought the resurrection was important, and for quoting that verse. I want to share the gospel with people (if and when they ask me), but I am not exactly sure what to tell them.
