[B-Greek] English Translation of the Greek New Testament.

I suppose all my Greek professors have mentioned the NASB as being the most
literal commonly available English translation today.  The old American
Standard (1901) is likely closer, but also much more stilted, as you might
expect.  It seems to keep Greek syntax more than those using dynamic
equivalence.  I also have a copy of Young's Literal Translation (same guy as
Young's Concordance).  It was completed in 1898.  It is quite literal.  I
found a paperback copy reprinted by Baker Book House in the early 1980's.
You might scrounge around and find one of those somewhere.
