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.

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.

μὴ ὢν αὐτὸς ὑπὸ νόμον / omission

TEXTLAWTRANSLATIONhigh confidence

Does Paul explicitly say he is not under the law?

The critical editions include Paul’s qualification that he himself is not under law. Robinson-Pierpont omits it.

Why this default

The critical qualification is default; RP’s omission remains explicit.

Evidence

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

InternalThe qualification prevents Paul’s adaptation from being mistaken for actual Torah subjection. Its parenthetical syntax could invite omission, while deliberate insertion would also clarify a potentially troubling statement.

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.
