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.

2 corinthians.12.dc12HumbleText

ἐλθόντος μου ταπεινώσῃ με / ἐλθόντα με ταπεινώσει

TEXTGRAMMARlow confidence

Is Paul describing what God may do when he comes, or what God will do to him?

WH and NA28 read a genitive absolute with a subjunctive, ‘when I come, may humble me’; Tregelles and RP use a future ‘will humble,’ RP also recasting Paul as the object of coming.

Why this default

The default follows SBLGNT, WH, and NA28 in presenting the humiliation as a feared possibility when Paul comes; Tregelles and RP use the future, while RP also omits the explicit ‘me.’

Evidence

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.
