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.

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 7
luke.7.lk7ComeClause
διὸ οὐδὲ ἐμαυτὸν ἠξίωσα πρὸς σὲ ἐλθεῖν / omission
Does the centurion explain why he did not come personally?
The sentence is present in the dominant early tradition but omitted by a Western stream. Its absence produces a shorter transition without changing the central claim.
Why this default
Inclusion is default because the sentence is supported across the principal early streams; omission is concentrated in the Western tradition and can be explained as compression.
Evidence
ExternalIncluded by P75, א, B, L, W and the broad Greek tradition; omitted by D, 700* and some Old Latin/Syriac witnesses.
InternalThe sentence explains why friends rather than the centurion himself arrive. Its similarity to the adjacent worthiness statement could also invite accidental or deliberate abbreviation.

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.
