(2) Adopt the Revelation reviewer's TR-vs-Byzantine discipline: where the SBLGNT apparatus shows no Robinson-Pierpont difference, a KJV reading is a TR (minority) reading, not 'the Byzantine text' (15:4 sou; 27:35 is already handled correctly); where RP differs but the KJV agrees with SBLGNT, say 'Byzantine majority, not TR/KJV' (4:10 opisō mou; 10:8 is already handled correctly).

No line adds interpretive content, uses Raëlian-canon vocabulary (no Elohim, Yahweh, craft, creators, ray, planet, Eternals), or resolves an ambiguity in the canon's direction. Each Wheel of Heaven reading sits in its own paragraph headed 'reception note, not a translation claim'. The two lines that coincide with the canon's French were tested specifically: 2:2/2:9 'at its rising' (BDAG ἀνατολή 1 cites both verses; NAB 1970, NRSV, ESV) and 26:53 'put at my disposal' (BDAG παρίστημι 1a cites the verse; NASB identical wording). In both the lexical ground is real and independent of the canon, so neither is lens leakage.","escalationReportAdjustments":"Initial verdicts were formed from the Greek, the chapter JSON, the overlay and the central diff before the escalation report (wave-m2-editor-report.md) was opened. The report added no information that changes a verdict. It repeats the RSV attribution for 2:2/9 ('RSV, NRSV, NAB'), which this review corrects. Its ten founder-preference points are answered in founderDecisionRecommendations, and its follow-ups (17:21; 17:22; comma/colon in 25 and 28; the 6:13 'testing' wording in central) are endorsed as later-pass items.","founderDecisionRecommendations":{"1-angelos-angel":"Endorse. ἄγγελος is the technical term for a heavenly envoy in first-century Jewish Greek (BDAG s.v. 2); published Mt 1, 13, 25, 28, Acts 12 and the Revelation wave all print 'angel', so the Greek NT is already harmonized in practice. Promote jointly with Revelation as a central Greek-NT convention; keep 'messenger of YHWH' for Hebrew malʾāḵ.","2-naos-sanctuary":"Endorse for Matthew. The naos/hieron distinction is lexical (BDAG; Josephus) and NRSV marks it in 23:16-35. 27:5 keeps Matthew's crux honestly (and, to my reading, restores the ASV's own 'sanctuary'). If promoted, scope it to books with both terms; Revelation's 'temple' for ναός is defensible because it has no ἱερόν.","3-23:14-no-paragraph":"Endorse. SBLGNT has no 23:14; the Byzantine text is quoted in full at 23:13 with witnesses, as the 6:13b precedent and the Revelation ruling C require. Recommend a later pass bring the stable 17:21 into line: its bracketed Greek is not SBLGNT text, so drop the paragraph and move the Byzantine wording into the 17:20 commentary.","4-colon-convention":"Endorse (punctuation only; applied without exception in the wave). Harmonize published 25 and 28 in a later pass.","5-magi":"Endorse. 'magi' is the standard scholarly rendering (BDAG; Brown; Powell) and NIV/NAB usage; 'wise men' is noted.","6-faithfulness-23:23":"Endorse. BDAG lists Mt 23:23 under πίστις 1a 'faithfulness, reliability'; NIV and ESV render so; the Mic 6:8 triad is conduct.","7-put-at-my-disposal-26:53":"Endorse. BDAG παρίστημι 1a cites this verse for 'put at someone's disposal', and the NASB prints exactly 'put at My disposal'; the ground is independent of the canon's French, and the coincidence is disclosed.","8-at-its-rising-2:2,9":"Endorse. BDAG ἀνατολή 1 cites both verses; NAB (1970, before TBWTT) and NRSV read 'at its rising', ESV 'when it rose'. Correct the RSV attribution (the RSV reads 'in the East').","9-defiles-a-person":"Endorse. The article with ἄνθρωπος is generic; the canon's own French « l'homme » is generic too, so the line follows the sense the canon intends rather than the English edition's 'the man'.","10-tempted-4:1":"Endorse. Agent-driven 'tempted'/'the tempter' is BDAG's and the versions' reading with the devil as agent, and agrees with published 6:13; the test reading (Gerhardsson; canon « mis à l'épreuve ») is properly in commentary. Optionally align the chapter 4 title ('The testing in the wilderness') with the line."},"summary":{"approve":36,"revise":0,"flag-for-human":0,"statusSetTo":"reviewer-approved"}}},
