My solution to dependence on the myriad of aids for NT study is to do some
work in Agamemnon and Oedipus Rex. It is a bracing experience to be forced to
think about the text. It slows you down but you start learning again.

I don't need a copy of the TR and the Jay Green book is not a pure TR anyway,
it is the Trinity text, which is an attempt to "correct" the TR to the KJV. It
is a curio and doesn't take up much space. I have other curio's in my library
like Cremer's Theological Lexicon, Sauter's Lexicon, Albert Thumb's Grammar to
name a few (no I don't want to sell them).
