The treasure-in-heaven figure. The treasure-in-heaven figure stands at exactly three verses in the record: Helaman 5:8, Helaman 8:25, and 3 Nephi 13:20 -- zero occurrences 1 Nephi through Alma; corpus-wide the frozen New Testament carries it at Matthew 6:20, Matthew 19:21, Mark 10:21, and Luke 18:22 (seven in all). The Helaman internal pair (5:8 positive, 'lay up for yourselves a treasure in heaven… which fadeth not away' <-> 8:25 negative) is ALREADY registered as hel-nephi-treasure-heaven on nephi-helamanson.md, and THAT record's note already carries the three-verse count including 13:20. This record registers the CONTACT itself -- the verse-pair 3 Nephi 13:20 <-> Helaman 8:25 -- not the count; distinct verse-pair, no duplication. 8:25 is the tightest far end: it shares 'up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where … doth corrupt' with 13:20 (plural 'treasures', negative form), where 5:8 has singular 'a treasure'. Helaman 8:25's generic 'where nothing doth corrupt' is spelled out concretely in the sermon's prior verse: 3 Nephi 13:19 'where moth and rust doth corrupt' / 13:20 'where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt' -- Helaman anticipates the moth-and-rust clause. The sermon's close, 13:21 'For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also', restates the hearts-upon-riches frame the page tracks. Matthew 6:19-20, frozen in the corpus since the New Testament froze, is a legal endpoint but is not registered as one here; the Matthew-form variant comparison lives on sermon-at-the-temple.md. The in-corpus chain stands on its own.
