D&C 49:15 · 1 Timothy 4:3
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.
The letter names both practices in one clause as marks of a departure it warns against; the revelation splits them across two verses and turns each into a test of ordination. The second half returns at D&C 49:18 with the polarity of the verb reversed — the letter warns against those commanding abstinence, the revelation against those forbidding it. A real difference in what is prohibited, reported rather than smoothed. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
