John 1:18 — μονογενής + θεός / υἱός variant unit

A reusable research record with provenance and relationships kept separate from the presentation layer.

TEXTUAL_VARIANTVAR_JHN_1_18_MONOGENES

Evidence state: documented fact

The locally represented Greek editions do not print the same reading at the key μονογενής phrase in John 1:18. SBLGNT prints μονογενὴς θεὸς, while the Robinson-Pierpont Byzantine and Textus Receptus comparison traditions print ὁ μονογενὴς υἱός. The object records edition readings and manuscript evidence separately and does not declare an original reading.

Scope boundary: A reading selected by an edition and a reading attested by a manuscript are different evidence claims. This record does not rank readings, infer genealogy, or treat manuscript age alone as decisive.
