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 repentance-conditioned formula 'hewn down and cast into the fire' attaches to the second death at Helaman 14:18. Full record distribution of the exact phrase: Jacob's olive-tree allegory (Jacob 5:42, 5:46, 5:66) and its preamble (Jacob 6:7); Alma's Zarahemla sermon (Alma 5:35, 5:52, 5:56); Helaman 14:18; 3 Nephi 14:19 ('hewn down, and cast into the fire', the Sermon on the Mount), 27:11, 27:17; and Mormon 8:21 (again repentance-conditioned) — twelve verses; corpus-wide the frozen New Testament adds Matthew 3:10, 7:19, and Luke 3:9 (fifteen corpus; every carrier reads 'hewn down and cast into the fire' except the comma form 'hewn down, and cast into the fire' at 3 Nephi 14:19, Matthew 3:10, 7:19, and Luke 3:9). Alma 5:35 ('ye shall not be hewn down') and 14:18 ('not… but whosoever repenteth not is hewn down') share the repentance condition most directly; Alma 5:52 expands with 'a fire which cannot be consumed, even an unquenchable fire.' The bare 'hewn down' (without 'cast into the fire') appears separately at 2 Nephi 20:33 / Isaiah 10:33, the military Alma 51:18-19, and now Mormon 2:15, 6:10, 6:11 (the Cumorah-era military sense). The Matthew 3:10 'ax' framing is itself in-corpus (frozen), and its 'hewn down, and cast into the fire' wording also stands in-corpus at 3 Nephi 14:19. Cross-link samuel-the-lamanite.md. The bare judgment-sense 'hewn down' also stands at 3 Nephi 27:12 ('it is because of their works that they are hewn down'), between the counted 27:11 and 27:17.
