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.

TEXTBOUNDARYTRANSLATIONlow confidence
How should the competing ending traditions be displayed?
SBLGNT/RP preserve a grace benediction at verse 24, while WH/Treg/NA28 omit it and place the doxology here as verses 25–27; RP placed that doxology after 14:23.
Why this default
The grace benediction leads because it follows the project’s SBLGNT base and supplies a compact epistolary close after the final greetings; the alternative exposes the longer critical-edition doxology, while its relocation is documented in the witness apparatus.
Evidence
ExternalNo separate external-evidence note is recorded for this stable-text decision.

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.
