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.

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.

Acts 10:6 expanded instruction
Does the added promise of further instruction belong here?
The longer wording anticipates what Peter will tell Cornelius but is absent from the principal early Greek witnesses.
Why this default
The omission is default because the principal early witnesses end after Simon’s seaside location; the alternatives openly preserve later instructions that anticipate either Peter’s command or the household’s salvation.
Evidence
ExternalThe short text ends with the location of Simon’s house and is supported by P74, א, A, B, C, E and Ψ. The added instruction appears in the later Byzantine tradition.
InternalThe expansion supplies an anticipatory explanation drawn from the story’s outcome, a natural form of scribal clarification.

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.
