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).

Correct the RSV attribution (the RSV reads 'in the East').","9-defiles-a-person":"Endorse.
