Alma 5:34 · Alma 42:27
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 'waters of life freely' invitation closed inside the book: opened in Alma's Zarahemla sermon (5:34, the Lord's voice quoted) and repeated in the dying Alma's testament to Corianton (42:27). Internal sermon-to-testament pair. Revelation 22:17 is frozen in the corpus; that pairing is registered (rev-w1-18). Disclosed 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze: the invitation itself has a third corpus carrier, D&C 10:66 — 'Yea, if they will come, they may, and partake of the waters of life freely' — which carries the plural run and Alma 5:34's verb 'partake', making it a nearer relative than the Revelation singular. The tree-of-life distribution below is unmoved by the freeze (zero D&C carriers). A 5:34 / 1 Ne 8:11 pairing was not registered: the only shared phrase, 'the tree of life', is far too common — counted by verse it stands at twenty-four verses across the frozen corpus (fourteen of them in the record) and twenty-five occurrences (1 Nephi 11:25 carries it twice), too common to register.
