P-Marlow asks "Do these people not even own a bible?"

Sure. In Greek. And Greek bibles don't have three 'free-gifts' in four verses, but charisma or grace which KJV substitutres as "free gift"; they do have one gift in grace [dwrea en cariti], and one this gift [ton dwrhma].

So was Stephen. But people covered their ears and stone him.
