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.

TEXTTRANSLATIONmoderate confidence

How fully does verse 3 identify Jesus’ body?

The witnesses preserve three transmitted forms: the bare 'body,' 'the body of Jesus,' and the fuller reverential title 'the body of the Lord Jesus.'

Why this default

“The body” is default because P75 and B support the shorter wording and “of the Lord Jesus” naturally clarifies an already obvious referent.

Evidence

ExternalShort text: P75, B and some early support; expanded identification: א, A, C, W, Θ, Ψ and Byzantine witnesses.

InternalA reverential identification readily expands the bare noun; accidental omission is possible but less explanatory.

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.
