The evidence beneath the English
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.
public provenance schema, designed to remain machine-readable and auditable
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.

romans.16.rom16CrushSatan
συντρίψει τὸν Σατανᾶν ... ἐν τάχει
GRAMMARTRANSLATIONlow confidence
How should the promise be rendered?
Syntribō means crush or shatter; en tachei can mean soon or swiftly.
Why this default
‘Soon’ leads because the promise anticipates God’s near intervention, while the decisive crushing already supplies the manner; the alternatives hear ἐν τάχει as speed or hold nearness and rapid action together.

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.
