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.

τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ / τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
Which form of the Lord’s name appears in Peter’s statement?
A substantial stream adds Christ to the shorter and broadly attested Lord Jesus.
Why this default
The default retains the shorter Lord Jesus. A substantial but secondary stream expands the name with Christ.
Evidence
ExternalLord Jesus is supported by א, A, B, E and the Byzantine tradition, with early versional support; Lord Jesus Christ appears in C, D, Ψ, 33, 36, 453, 945, 1175, and 1739.
InternalAdding the familiar title Christ is a natural liturgical and scribal expansion; omission by accident is less readily explained.

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.
