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.

TEXTDOXOLOGYCHRISTOLOGYTRANSLATIONhigh confidence
What full form of the closing doxology is read?
Westcott-Hort, Tregelles, and NA28 praise the only God our Savior through Jesus Christ and include glory before all time. The Byzantine text adds ‘wise’ but omits both ‘through Jesus Christ our Lord’ and ‘before all time,’ while adding a conjunction before glory. The options keep each doxology internally coherent.
Why this default
The critical form is preferred because its longer christological mediation and temporal sweep are jointly supported by Westcott-Hort, Tregelles, and NA28; the Byzantine form is readily explained by liturgical reshaping.

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.
