leaves a record.
The published library was developed through direct Greek analysis, lexical work, and manuscript comparison. Where surviving witnesses materially disagree, the competing Greek readings and their effect on English remain open to the reader.

Textual basis
SBL Greek New Testament
Edited by Michael W. Holmes. The project's standardized, publicly inspectable Greek reference edition. It is not presented as retroactive proof that every existing chapter originated from one uniform printed edition.
This is an honest reference claim, not a retroactive claim that all completed work began from one uniform printed edition. Material manuscript forks remain independently documented at the reading they affect.

εὐχαριστῶ / εὐχαριστῶ τῷ θεῷ
TEXTmoderate confidence
Does Paul explicitly say he thanks God here?
The explicit object turns the statement into Paul’s familiar thanksgiving-to-God formula; the shorter form leaves the recipient understood from context.
Why this default
The shorter ‘I give thanks’ is the pinned SBLGNT base and agrees with WH; Paul’s object is readily supplied from context, while the explicit ‘to God’ remains available because Tregelles, NA28, and RP print it.
Evidence
Externalεὐχαριστῶ — WH; εὐχαριστῶ τῷ θεῷ — Treg, NA28, RP.
InternalAdding ‘to God’ supplies the expected object and conforms the clause to Paul’s customary thanksgiving formula; the shorter reading is the less explicit form but remains intelligible after verse 4’s thanksgiving to God.

Record integrity
One registry drives both the reader and this record.
The manifest is regenerated from the translation source before every production build. Its source digest is 7c4cbee907fbc0e84976d6e78a615134e2288f8197ce8abcf67b0452155ddc84.
Decision-level revision history begins with this ledger. Earlier development is not reconstructed into false precision; future material changes can be appended to the relevant record with their reason and date.
