Abraham 3:23 · Alma 13:3
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.
INTERPRETIVE / thematic, not verbal. Both texts locate a selection to holy standing before mortal life, grounded in prior righteousness: Abraham among 'the noble and great ones' (3:22) and 'chosen before thou wast born' (3:23); Alma's priests 'called and prepared from the foundation of the world according to the foreknowledge of God … having chosen good'. They share NO distinctive phrase -- 'chosen before thou wast born' / 'noble and great ones' (Abraham) find no echo in 'prepared from the foundation of the world' / 'foreknowledge of God' (a clause the corpus uses broadly for the plan of redemption -- Benjamin at Mosiah 4:7, Alma at Alma 12:30). The shared doctrine of pre-mortal foreordination is real in the text; a shared source or phrasing is not claimed. Registered interpretive.
