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.

standardized inspectable Greek reference edition

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.

πᾶν κατάθεμα οὐκ ἔσται

TRANSLATIONmoderate confidence

What replaces every curse?

No curse remains; God and the Lamb’s throne is in the city, and their servants render sacred service.

Why this default

The default renders κατάθεμα as ‘curse’ in continuity with biblical curse imagery and preserves the singular service directed to God and the Lamb.

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 defaultNo curse will remain; God’s and the Lamb’s throne will be there, and his servants will serve him

Project default

AlternativeNothing accursed remains; God’s and the Lamb’s throne is there, and his servants serve him

Alternate rendering

AlternativeEvery curse will cease; God’s and the Lamb’s throne will be in her, and his servants will serve him

Reference roleStandardized inspectable reference; manuscript forks are independently reopened.

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.
