Conspicuously absent from Mr. Woodruf's list is "Sit, Walk, Stand" by
Watchman Nee. He doesn't appeal to the Greek much but the tiny book speaks
volumes.

As to the Greek, this seems a good time to bring up Eph 2:8

XARITI ESTE SEWSMENOI

These are some common renderings:

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God--
RSV
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own
doing, it is the gift of God--
KJV
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
the gift of God:
DBY
For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is
God's gift:
YLT
for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you --
of God the gift,

It seems to me that it ought to read:

   "In grace are you, having been saved through faith"
