Alma 42:27 · Revelation 22:17
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.
Two elements coincide: the free offer of the water of life, and the 'whosoever will' that opens it. 'waters of life freely' stands at exactly three verses in the corpus (recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze), Alma 5:34, Alma 42:27 and D&C 10:66 ('Yea, if they will come, they may, and partake of the waters of life freely', which carries Alma's verb rather than Revelation's); 'water of life freely' at exactly two, Revelation 21:6 and 22:17; the phrase occurs nowhere else in the corpus in either number. Variants reported, not scored: the Book of Mormon has the plural 'waters,' Revelation the singular 'water'; Alma's verb is 'partake', Revelation's 'take'; Alma 42:27 adds the negative half, that whoever will not come is not compelled. Alma 5:34 sets the same invitation beside the tree of life (see rev-w1-19). The corpus gives no account of the parallel; origin outside this wiki's scope. Class (c). asserted_by wiki. (Distinct from the existing intra-corpus record alma-waters-of-life-freely, which pairs Alma 5:34 with Alma 42:27.)
