D&C 128:15 · Hebrews 11:40
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.
Seven words run identical, broken by one substitution: 'should not' for 'cannot'. The letter names its source in the same verse and then adds a converse the older text does not state, that the living cannot be made perfect without their dead. It states the doubled form again three verses later at D&C 128:18, 'For we without them cannot be made perfect; neither can they without us be made perfect'. A writer is named at the point of quotation, with no reference given. Minted asserted_by: source at the 2026-08-10 editorial review.
