Mormon 8:38 · Mosiah 5:8
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.
Extends the take-upon-the-name family. Moroni rebukes the latter-day teachers who 'polluted the holy church of God': 'Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ?' (Mormon 8:38) -- ashamed of the very name king Benjamin's people covenanted to take: 'I would that ye should take upon you the name of Christ' (Mosiah 5:8). Verbatim shared phrase: 'take upon you the name of Christ'. CANONICAL ROOT is mos-doc-take-name (verified in wiki/connections.json: near end Mosiah 5:8, far end 2 Nephi 31:13, page doctrine-of-christ.md), which ALREADY counts Mormon 8:38 in its distribution -- second-person 'take upon you the name of Christ' at six places corpus-wide (2 Nephi 31:13, Mosiah 5:8, Alma 34:38, 3 Nephi 27:5, Mormon 8:38, and D&C 18:21, 'Take upon you the name of Christ, and speak the truth in soberness' — recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze; the canonical root's own distribution carries the same figure and is corrected with it). This record registers the specific Mormon 8:38 <-> Mosiah 5:8 leg on church-of-god.md; it does NOT re-tally the family distribution -- church-of-god.md defers that count to doctrine-of-christ.md (see page prose), so NO page count changes with this addition. No other register record carries Mormon 8:38 as an endpoint; its other mentions are distribution notes.
