About the translation
Clarity without hiding complexity.
The AICNT begins with readings attested by the earliest manuscripts and reflected in major modern critical editions. It then documents meaningful alternatives from early witnesses and later text traditions.
The English was produced with AI-assisted methodology designed to minimize theological bias, then reviewed for accuracy and readability by New Testament scholar Dustin R. Smith, PhD. No translation is free from interpretation; the aim is to keep the English open wherever the Greek and manuscript evidence remain open.
A readable apparatus
Three marks. One transparent system.
The notation lets readers see variation while reading, then consult concise footnotes for the witnesses behind it.
[ wording ]Absent in early witnesses
Single brackets mark words missing from one or more important early manuscripts.
[[ wording ]]Likely later addition
Double brackets identify text judged unlikely to belong to the earliest recoverable form.

The text should show readers where the evidence is secure—and where it is not.
Evidence in view
- Early witnessesGreek papyri and uncial manuscripts, with early Syriac and Latin evidence where relevant.
- Later traditionsThe Byzantine text type and Textus Receptus are documented rather than silently dismissed.
- Critical editionsNA28, SBLGNT, and THGNT provide benchmark comparisons for the base text.
Convictions and method
Evidence should remain open to inspection.
Integrity Syndicate holds particular convictions about Christology and primitive apostolic Christianity. For that reason, the AICNT does not ask readers to accept a claim of perfect neutrality.
Its translation protocol, textual decisions, meaningful alternatives, and correction process are made visible so the work can be evaluated against the evidence.
