Mormon 9:9 · James 1:17
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 noun 'variableness' stands at exactly two corpus verses (verified by a search of the corpus): Mormon 9:9 and James 1:17 — before the New-Testament freeze it was Book-of-Mormon-unique. Divergences reported, not scored: James reads 'shadow of turning' where Moroni reads 'shadow of changing' (in the record, 'shadow of turning' belongs to Alma 7:20, and 'shadow of changing' recurs at Mormon 9:10); James points the pair with a comma ('no variableness, neither'); James predicates it of 'the Father of lights', Moroni of God inside the refrain-frame 'the same yesterday, today, and forever'. That refrain stands at seven Book of Mormon verses ('yesterday, today, and forever'; 2 Nephi 2:4 carries the comma-form 'the same, yesterday'), and its one Bible-side locus is Hebrews 13:8 ('Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever' — KJV two-word spellings), which the page states as a distribution fact without registering — the refrain is too widely spread to anchor one pairing, the page's standing rule. Moroni introduces his sentence as a reading-claim — 'For do we not read that' — naming no book, so the pairing is the wiki's.
