3 Nephi 12:45 · Matthew 5:45
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 love-your-enemies antithesis. The clause 'he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good' is shared; Matthew 5:45 continues 'and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust', which has no counterpart in 3 Nephi 12:45. The two publican verses that follow in Matthew (5:46-47) also have no 3 Nephi parallel.
