Helaman 3:29 · Hebrews 4:12
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.
Mormon's 'word of God' exhortation beside Hebrews 4:12. Shared distinctive strands: 'the word of God' + 'quick and powerful' + 'divide asunder'/'dividing asunder'. Variants reported, not scored: Hebrews 'quick, and powerful' (comma), Helaman 'quick and powerful' (none). Hebrews-UNIQUE material reported as a fact: 'sharper than any twoedged sword … of soul and spirit … discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart' has no counterpart in Helaman 3:29 (the BoM shares the quick/powerful/divide-asunder core but not the sword or the anatomy). DICTION FACT, re-derived from raw 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze (the earlier statement of it, that the comma-less form was corpus-unique to Helaman 3:29, no longer holds): 'quick and powerful' (comma-less) stands in the record only at Helaman 3:29, and corpus-wide at seven verses -- Helaman 3:29 and six Doctrine and Covenants revelation-openings, D&C 6:2, 11:2, 12:2, 14:2, 27:1, 33:1. 'divide asunder'/'dividing asunder' also stands at 1 Nephi 17:45, 3 Nephi 8:6, Helaman 5:33, Helaman 12:8 -- and Helaman 3:29 is the record's only verse attaching it to 'the word of God,' as Hebrews 4:12 does, but that attachment is not corpus-unique either: five of the six D&C carriers (6:2, 11:2, 12:2, 14:2, 33:1) likewise join 'dividing asunder' to the Lord's word, D&C 6:2 reading 'my word, which is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword'. The record rests on the shared strands at its two ends, which are unchanged; the exclusivity framing is withdrawn. Helaman 3:29 already anchors the internal record hel-tree-lay-hold-word (Helaman 3:29 <-> 1 Nephi 15:24, hosted tree-of-life.md, whose note had treated Hebrews 4:12 as log-only before the NT freeze); this adds the now-legal Hebrews 4:12 endpoint. Distinct verse-pair. Class (c): Mormon's own editorial voice; no source named; origin out of scope.
