How the 2 checks landed

~ FAITHFUL 1
NOT A QUOTE 1

This is a count, not a verdict. We grade songs, one at a time, against what each one does with the text. A tally of those checks describes a catalogue. It is not a judgment of the people who wrote or sang it, and no number here puts anyone on or off The List. Most drift is craft pressure, not deception. Read the proofs, not the arithmetic.

The songs

NOT A QUOTE “Holy Water” We The Kingdom John 4:13-14 Sing it. It is a prayer for forgiveness and it names no verse. Just do not read it as John 4:13-14. That water is drunk once and never runs out. This water washes.

✓ Never says it is quoting at all: no verse in the lyric, none in the official upload's description, and no scripture framing anywhere in the song

⚠ Nothing in the song points at John 4. The pairing is made by readers on the strength of one shared word, and the two waters do different things

~ FAITHFUL “God So Loved” We The Kingdom John 3:16-17 Sing it. The chorus walks through John 3:16 clause by clause, lightly reworded and never labeled. The verse's own alternative, shall not perish, stays unsung, so read the whole sentence once for yourself.

✓ The chorus keeps John 3:16's clauses in the verse's own order: love, gift, belief, life

⚠ No translation is named, so the near-quotation has to be recognized rather than checked
