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.

TRANSLATIONmoderate confidence
Who lives and reigns with Christ?
John sees enthroned judges and the souls beheaded for Jesus' testimony and God's word, including those who refused the beast, image, and mark.
Why this default
The default keeps the enthroned judges and the faithful dead in view without prematurely resolving whether the non-worshipers form a separate group or further describe the martyrs.
Evidence
ExternalNo separate external-evidence note is recorded for this stable-text decision.
InternalThe decision record relies on the stated lexical, grammatical, or translation rationale.
Project defaultThey came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years
Project default
AlternativeThey lived and ruled with the Messiah for a thousand years
Alternate rendering
AlternativeThey lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years
Preserves the possible breadth of the final relative group without erasing the martyr focus.
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.
