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.

διὰ πίστεως Χριστοῦ

GRAMMARINTERPRETATIONTRANSLATIONlow confidence

Whose faithfulness does the compact genitive express?

Pistis Christou can be read as trust directed toward Christ, Christ’s own faithfulness, or a deliberately compact relation that includes both.

Why this default

Trust in Christ leads because the surrounding contrast is between self-grounded righteousness and reliance on Christ, while the subjective and compact alternatives preserve Christ’s fidelity and the genitive’s openness.

Evidence

ExternalNo separate external-evidence note is recorded for this stable-text decision.

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.
