Every identified edit moves Paul in the same direction: toward law-continuity, covenant affirmation, institutional hierarchy, and submission to authority. The edits are not random. They are directional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe argument rests on five independent lines of evidence: structural ruptures in Paul's Greek text, writing-style anomalies identified by mainstream scholars working without any Marcionite agenda, Marcion's second-century canon as hostile-witness confirmation, manuscript instability at precisely the contested passages, and the institutional motive that makes each addition load-bearing. Each line can be checked independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompanion A - The Verse-by-Verse Analysis\u003c\/strong\u003e is the complete adjudication record for the interpolation argument.
