Alma 37:40 · 1 Nephi 16:28
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.
Alma restates the ball's operating law in Nephi's did-work-according-to frame — 16:28 'did work according to the faith', 37:40 'did work for them according to their faith' — narrowed from the triplet 'faith and diligence and heed' (1 Ne 16:28) and Benjamin's pair (Mosiah 1:16, registered mos-liahona-heed-diligence) to 'faith' alone; 37:40 spells out the mechanism and reuses 1 Ne 16:10's 'spindles'. Third generation of the operating-law chain; corporate end Alma 49:30 chain-noted.
