D&C 127:2 · Romans 5:3
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 the writer it is imitating and states the imitation as a feeling rather than a doctrine. Divergences: the older plural 'tribulations' is singular here, and the older verse's consequence, that tribulation 'worketh patience', has no counterpart. D&C 127 and D&C 128 frame themselves as letters in a human first person, not as divine addresses; the letter-writer is not named in the verse text. Ruled at the 2026-08-10 editorial review: stays wiki — the naming is of a person rather than a text, and three shared words are below the verbatim bar.
