The evidence beneath the English
Every consequential choice
leaves a record.
John, Mark, Matthew, and Luke were 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.
Translation record
John 14
john.14.spiritIn14
ἐν ὑμῖν ἔσται / ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστιν
Will the spirit be in them, or is it already in them?
The manuscripts divide by one letter between future ‘will be’ and present ‘is.’ P66’s first hand, Vaticanus, Bezae, and W preserve the present form.
Why this default
The future is default because it has broad and diverse support and fits the promised sending. The present reading is exceptionally early and can describe the spirit’s already-active presence among them.
Evidence
ExternalFuture: P66 corrected, א, A, L and broad tradition; present: P66 first hand, B, D*, W, 0211.
InternalA copyist could change present to future to match the promised gift, or future to present under the influence of ‘remains with you.’

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 450adc54c1fc782fbae5e9ed6a640a2ae0e3be080722ac134c84e1248c2a312a.
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.
