DAN 2:44 (exposition): The God-of-heaven/never-destroyed kingdom sentence is actually quoted and expressly interpreted as Christ's eternal kingdom and the resurrection of the just, confirming that prophets and Son come from the same Creator/Father. DAN 2:45 (citation): Verse 45 repeats the explicitly recalled stone-cut-without-hands motif in the dream's interpretation. Admit a transparent parallel content mention only; no unquoted mountain/metals/details are claimed to occur in this paragraph. MAT 25:41 (exposition): The characteristic eternal fire prepared for Satan is specifically discussed as a judgment announced through Christ, including a reported Justin remark about Satan learning his sentence and unrepentant apostates sharing it. This supports interpretation of the prepared-for-devil clause, not a claimed verbatim quotation of Matthew's full verse. {\"book\": \"GEN\", \"chapter\": 3, \"verse\": 1, \"status\": \"deferred_not_admitted\", \"basis\": \"The devil's use of the serpent at the beginning is narrative background, without this verse's distinctive creature/question wording.\"} {\"book\": \"GEN\", \"chapter\": 3, \"verse\": 4, \"status\": \"deferred_not_admitted\", \"basis\": \"No serpent denial of death is quoted or singled out in this paragraph.\"} {\"book\": \"GEN\", \"chapter\": 3, \"verse\": 5, \"status\": \"deferred_not_admitted\", \"basis\": \"No eyes-opened/as-God/knowledge clause is cited here.\"} {\"book\": \"GEN\", \"chapter\": 2, \"verse\": 7, \"status\": \"deferred_not_admitted\", \"basis\": \"The Creator's giving the spirit of life is a general assertion; no dust/nostrils/breathing/man-becoming-living wording identifies this particular verse.\"} {\"status\": \"unidentified_reported_work_not_new_public_author_record\", \"book\": null, \"chapter\": null, \"verse\": null, \"source_note_id\": \"cite_note-229\", \"basis\": \"The Justin remark is explicitly reported, but the original Justin work is unidentified and described by the editors as lost.
