The evidence beneath the English
Every consequential choice
leaves a record.
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.

TEXTBOUNDARYhigh confidence
Do verses 44 and 46 repeat the undying-worm saying?
The earliest witnesses contain the saying once in verse 48. A later stream repeats it after the hand and foot warnings as verses 44 and 46.
Why this default
Verses 44 and 46 are omitted by default because the earliest recoverable text moves directly onward; both repeat verse 48 verbatim in the later tradition.
Evidence
ExternalOmit: א, B, C, L, W, Δ and early versions; include: A, D, K, Θ, families 1/13 and the Byzantine tradition.
InternalA memorable refrain from verse 48 was readily copied into the two parallel warnings, creating a symmetrical threefold form.

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 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.
