This document exists only in this layer. Its whole text is a quoted Scripture passage, and the one English wording the upstream source carries is the English Standard Version, which is under copyright and is not held anywhere in this corpus. There is therefore no normalized/ original to compare against: the English below is the public-domain Berean Standard Bible, supplied from the reference the upstream document records.
