The distinctive 'one day' fits Genesis 1:5; other day-closing verses are not automatically added. GEN 2:17 (exposition): The eat-on-that-day/die-on-that-day warning is explicitly quoted and receives sustained interpretation: death as disobedience/debt, the single creation day, Passion-day recapitulation, and a within-thousand-years reading are distinguished rather than flattened into one view. 2PE 3:8 (exposition): The one-Lord-day/as-thousand-years clause is actually quoted to explain a reported interpretation in which Adam's death falls within that limit. Irenaeus says some people take that reading; do not turn the reported alternative into a singular author dogma. JHN 8:44 (exposition): The murderer-from-the-beginning/truthlessness saying is explicitly attributed to the Lord and explained through the serpent's Genesis lie and the death it brings. Its wording is John 8:44, not the printed footnote's John 8:14. {\"original_note_id\": \"cite_note-201\", \"printed_note\": \"John viii. 14.\", \"correction_kind\": \"wrong_verse_number\", \"incorrect_locator\": {\"book\": \"JHN\", \"chapter\": 8, \"verse\": 14}, \"corrected_locator\": {\"book\": \"JHN\", \"chapter\": 8, \"verse\": 44}, \"basis\": \"The actual quoted murderer-from-the-beginning/no-truth words are in John 8:44 in WEB, ASV and DRA.
