Alma 38:9 · Mosiah 16:9
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.
Abinadi's title for Christ reused in Alma's testament to Shiblon, the two halves swapped: 'life and the light' (Alma) vs 'light and the life' (Abinadi). The formula recurs at the advent: the risen Lord names himself 'the light and the life of the world' at 3 Nephi 9:18 and 11:11; the Alma/Abinadi inversion remains the pre-advent pair. Inversion reported as textual fact; nothing claimed about the swap's meaning. Provenance: Mosiah 17:4.
