The Ultimate e-Sword Bible
I found quite possibly one of the most useful tools for studying the bible. It's a Septuigint (LXX) and a NA27 with Strong's (updated for 7.9.5+) and Wescott-Hort parsing info. Together the Strong's numbers and the Wescott-Hort parsing info gives you enough information to make up for not knowing Greek pretty well. If you know the different usages of a word, the tense of the verbs and whether they are singular or plural it gives you alot more than reading a single English version of the bible. When you are able to search for all the usages of words you have the ability to do some serious word study.
I think the LXX is a critical to understanding the Greek of the New Testament. It is the Old Testament that the authors of the New Testament read, and therefore shapes their usage of the Greek language significantly. It is important to recognize that the New Testiment is a Hebrew document that happens to be written in Greek. The Greek of the NT is the Greek of the LXX blended with the common or koine Greek of the day and NOT the Greek of Classical Greek literature, and their word usage therefore carries none of the metaphysical implications of the philosophers, but rather that of the Old Testament.
