KJV2003 status is visible here:

I'm not sure how this necessarily helps you with Greek morphology though.  
You can get slightly better results than with Perseus already in Sword.  
Just switch to the WHNU module (that's equivalent to Perseus' text, but 
you could use Byz or TR also) and turn on morphology.  Then open the 
Robinson lexicon down below if you need to look up any of the codes.  The 
advantage over Perseus is that Perseus doesn't specify which inflected 
form is in the text.  In your Phil 4:8 example, it could be any of 
nominative, vocative, or accusative according to Perseus, but our WHNU 
text identifies it specifically as nominative.

I you want to get fancy, you could set Robinson as your Glossary under the 
Special Modules tab in Preferances and just use mouseovers to lookup 
morphology.
