This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
The phrase 'the easiness of the way' is Alma 37:46's phrase; 1 Nephi 17:41 reads 'the easiness of it' (the brass-serpent episode: 'the labor which they had to perform was to look'). Alma 37:46 fuses the two look-and-live types (Liahona gaze + brass serpent): 'if they would look they might live… if we will look we may live forever'; farewell repeats the verb at 37:47.
