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 sentence is carried over entire and pluralised: 'better for him' against 'better for them', 'his neck' against 'their necks'. 'drowned in the depth of the sea' stands at exactly three distinct frozen verses in the corpus: Matthew 18:6, D&C 54:5, and this verse. Two further tellings of the same saying end differently, 'cast into the sea' at Mark 9:42 and the same at Luke 17:2, so the depth-of-the-sea wording is the one this verse follows. Counts are of distinct frozen verses in the corpus, derived by search at the time of writing.
