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.

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.7.cor7Verse34Text

καὶ μεμέρισται ... ἡ ἄγαμος

TEXTSENTENCE_BOUNDARYTRANSLATIONmoderate confidence

Where does 'and he is divided' belong, and is 'unmarried woman' explicit?

The critical text closes verse 33 with 'and he is divided,' then names both the unmarried woman and virgin. Robinson-Pierpont omits the first 'and' and 'unmarried woman,' shifting the division.

Why this default

The pinned critical structure is default; RP's omission and resegmentation remain visible because they materially alter the comparison.

Evidence

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

InternalWith the critical wording, 'is divided' closes the married man's clause and the next clause names two unmarried female groups; omission and resegmentation invite a wife-versus-virgin contrast.

Project defaultand his interests are divided. The unmarried woman and the virgin are concerned about the Lord's things

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.
