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.

οὔτε γὰρ / ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε

TEXThigh confidence

Does the new-creation saying explicitly begin ‘in Christ Jesus’?

The expanded form names Christ Jesus as the sphere and says circumcision has no power; the compact form sets both statuses directly against new creation.

Why this default

Shorter wording is default as SBLGNT, WH, Tregelles, and NA28.

Evidence

Externalοὔτε γὰρ ... ἐστιν — WH, Treg, NA28; ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε ... ἰσχύει — RP.

InternalThe longer reading closely echoes Galatians 5:6 and makes the sphere and verbal relation explicit, which supports expansion by harmonization; the shorter saying is compact but complete.

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.
