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.

SBLGNT

standardized inspectable Greek reference edition

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.

1 corinthians.2.cor2HisSpiritText

τοῦ πνεύματος / τοῦ πνεύματος αὐτοῦ

TEXThigh confidence

Does verse 10 explicitly say ‘his Spirit’?

The added possessive explicitly links the Spirit to the God who reveals; the shorter form relies on the same relationship established by the surrounding sentences.

Why this default

The shorter ‘through the Spirit’ is the SBLGNT reading and agrees with all three critical editions; RP’s explicit possessive is transparent but unnecessary for identifying God’s Spirit in context.

Evidence

Externalπνεύματος — WH, Treg, NA28; πνεύματος αὐτοῦ — RP.

InternalThe possessive ‘his’ clarifies that the Spirit belongs to the immediately named God; the surrounding references already identify the Spirit, so the shorter form is complete and the expansion is easily motivated.

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.
