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
Luke 21
luke.21.lk21Perplexity
ἐν ἀπορίᾳ ἤχους θαλάσσης καὶ σάλου
How does the sea-turmoil clause read?
The witnesses preserve several arrangements of sea, sound, and surge.
Why this default
The compact sea-and-surge arrangement is retained, while the complex genitive chain generated several transmitted rearrangements.
Evidence
ExternalMultiple early and later witnesses preserve differing orders of sea, sound, and surge.
InternalAn opaque sequence of genitives naturally invites clarification and reordering.

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.
