John, Mark, Matthew, and Luke were 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.

TEXTGRAMMARTRANSLATIONhigh confidence
Is the blasphemer liable for an eternal sin or eternal judgment?
The earliest reading is the unusual ‘eternal sin.’ A broad later stream replaces it with the more familiar judicial expression ‘eternal judgment/condemnation.’
Why this default
Eternal sin is default because it is early, strongly attested, and distinctly Markan. Judgment is an intelligible replacement of the difficult idea that a sin itself is eternal.
Evidence
ExternalSin: א, B, C, L, W, Δ and early versions; judgment/condemnation: A, D and broad later support.
InternalThe familiar judicial phrase is easier than ‘guilty of an eternal sin’ and readily explains the later alternatives.

The manifest is regenerated from the translation source before every production build. Its source digest is 450adc54c1fc782fbae5e9ed6a640a2ae0e3be080722ac134c84e1248c2a312a.
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.
