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 bond of perfectness' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus, these two. Both open on the same construction — 'above all things' here, 'above all these things' in the letter — and both make charity the thing put on. Divergences: the letter's 'put on charity' is here 'clothe yourselves with the bond of charity', so the thing worn is the bond rather than the charity; this verse adds a simile the letter does not carry, 'as with a mantle', a phrase standing at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus, this one and Psalms 109:29, where the sense is a covering of shame; and this verse adds a second noun to the predicate, 'and peace', which the letter does not.
