DWThe Direct WitnessAccount

The evidence beneath the English

Every consequential choice
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.

How does the warning about disclosed sacrificial food read?

The critical text says ‘sacrificed in a temple’ and ends with conscience. Robinson-Pierpont says ‘sacrificed to an idol’ and repeats the Psalm quotation.

Why this default

The critical temple-sacrifice term and shorter ending are default; RP’s idol-sacrifice term and repeated Psalm remain explicit.

Evidence

ExternalNo separate external-evidence note is recorded for this stable-text decision.

Internal‘Temple-sacrificed’ specifies the setting; ‘idol-sacrificed’ uses the chapter’s familiar term, and the repeated Psalm can arise by harmonization with verse 26.

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.
