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.

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.

ἐν ἡμῖν / ἐν ἡμῖν ἓν

TEXTGRAMMARTRANSLATIONhigh confidence

Does the text say simply ‘in us,’ or add ‘one’?

The longer textual form makes oneness explicit within the Father and Son, whereas the shorter form leaves that unity to the immediately preceding clause.

Why this default

The shorter ‘in us’ is default because of strong early support. Adding ‘one’ explicitly repeats the surrounding unity request.

Evidence

ExternalIn us: P66, B, C*, D, W; one in us: א, A, C³, E, N, 047, 054 and later tradition.

InternalHen is a natural harmonizing addition from ‘that all may be one’ immediately before it.

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.
