Joseph Smith—History 1:19 · 2 Timothy 3:5
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 account gives the sentence as the answering Personage's own words ('the Personage who addressed me said… that:'), naming no source text. The run 'form of godliness' stands at exactly three corpus verses (verified by a search of the corpus): Joseph Smith—History 1:19, 2 Timothy 3:5, and Moroni 7:30 — the third in a different sense ('showing themselves… in every form of godliness', of ministering angels), disclosed and not paired. The godliness-plus-power-denial pairing is confined to the first two. Divergence reported: the account reads 'but they deny the power thereof' where 2 Timothy reads 'but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.' The quoted answer's earlier clauses — the lips-and-hearts material — remain unregistered candidates per the page's docket note; this record grounds only the form-of-godliness clause. The pairing is the wiki's (asserted_by: wiki under the named-source rule). Registered at the 2026-07-10 editorial review (provenance in verification-log.md).
