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 closing prayer tracks 1 John 3:2–3 in sequence: the sons of God, the appear–like–see clause nearly word-for-word, then the hope and the purity — 1 John 3:3 reads "that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure" where Moroni reads "that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure". Reported as textual facts.
