3 Nephi 12:30 · Matthew 5:29
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 offending-member antithesis. Matthew's self-mutilation figures (the right eye plucked out, Matthew 5:29; the right hand, Matthew 5:30) stand in 3 Nephi 12:29-30 as 'suffer none of these things to enter into your heart … deny yourselves of these things, wherein ye will take up your cross'. The shared frame is the choice between the loss and being 'cast into hell'.
