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.
Translation record
John 17

ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ᾧ / οὓς δέδωκάς μοι
What did the Father give Jesus in verse 11—the name or the people?
The textual fork changes the object of the Father’s giving: either the divine name entrusted to Jesus or the people whom Jesus asks the Father to keep.
Why this default
The singular ‘name which’ is default because it has exceptionally broad early support and is the harder expression. The plural naturally assimilates the clause to the people repeatedly given to Jesus.
Evidence
ExternalSingular: P60, P66vid, A, B, C, E and broad tradition; plural: D¹, 33vid and a limited later stream.
Internal‘Those whom you gave me’ is a familiar Johannine formula and readily replaces the unusual claim that the Father gave Jesus the divine name.

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.
