Note 191's locator is independently confirmed from the text. ROM 12:16 (exposition): The apostle's not-high-things/low-estate saying is quoted and applied to humility rather than riches, mundane glory or pride in gifts. This is explanation/application of the quoted exhortation, not merely a named reference. MAT 4:10 (exposition): The command to worship and serve God alone is quoted as the practical rejection of the devil's offer. The same paragraph immediately quotes Matthew's distinctive offer with 'falling down'; that interpretive pairing supports Matthew 4:10 as the primary content locator, without asserting exclusive Gospel provenance. LUK 4:8 (citation): Luke contains the same quoted worship/serve-only command. Admit it as a parallel verse mention; the overlapping wording does not prove a separate Luke quotation or a second ancient commentary unit. MAT 4:9 (exposition): The distinctive 'All these will I give thee, if, falling down, thou wilt worship me' quotation matches Matthew 4:9. Irenaeus explicitly interprets falling before the devil as falling from God's glory and explains why the offered gifts are false. MAT 10:29 (citation): The sparrow not falling without the Father is actually quoted/paraphrased and used as evidence of God's disposal of creation. No adjacent sparrow/hair verses are added and no independent exposition of the price or hair detail is invented. LUK 4:6 (exposition): The distinctive 'delivered unto me' and 'to whomsoever I will I give' words occur twice. Irenaeus directly disputes the devil's claim to ownership/disposal of kingdoms, identifies the boast as pride and a lie, and places all affairs under God. JHN 8:44 (exposition): Irenaeus quotes the devil's lying/truthlessness and uses that stated character to explain why the kingdom-ownership boast is false. The quotation compresses the murderer-from-the-beginning and liar clauses; retain that form rather than treating it as verbatim WEB. {\"book\": \"MAT\", \"chapter\": 4, \"verse\": 3, \"status\": \"deferred_not_admitted\", \"basis\": \"Hungry believers and God-given food are discussed, but no specific stones/bread temptation words are quoted or individually interpreted here.
