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.

TEXTTRANSLATIONhigh confidence
What maxim are the Corinthians to learn?
SBLGNT and the critical editions have the terse plural, 'not beyond the things written.' RP uses a singular relative and adds 'to think,' making the implied action explicit.
Why this default
The terse SBLGNT/critical maxim is retained without silently supplying an action; RP's singular relative and added 'to think' remain available as a coherent expanded reading.
Evidence
Externalἃ γέγραπται — WH, Treg, NA28; ὃ γέγραπται + φρονεῖν — RP.
InternalAdding ‘to think’ supplies the action required by the terse maxim, while the singular relative treats what is written as a unified rule; both changes smooth and clarify the abrupt shorter wording.

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.
