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 run 'ashamed to take upon' stands at exactly two corpus verses (verified by a search of the corpus): the title-of-liberty covenant, where being ashamed of the name is the hypothetical failure the swearers call rending down upon themselves, and Moroni's latter-day indictment, where the question presumes the shame has arrived. Divergence reported: 'take upon them' (the oath, third person) against 'take upon you' (the address, second person). The fuller run 'take upon them the name of Christ' stands at exactly two corpus verses as well — Mosiah 25:23 and Alma 46:21 (verified by a search of the corpus). Siblings: alma-title-take-name (Alma 46:21 <-> Mosiah 25:23, title-of-liberty.md) and morm-ashamed-take-name (Mormon 8:38 <-> Mosiah 5:8, church-of-god.md) each pair one end back to the take-the-name material descending from Benjamin's covenant (Mosiah 5:8 the speech itself; Mosiah 25:23 its church-entrance echo); this record pairs the two 'ashamed' verses with each other — the oath's hypothetical and the last writer's diagnosis.
