Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Inherent Immortality

The verse speaks of "having life through his name" as a result of believing, which suggests that life is a consequence of belief rather than an inherent quality of the soul. It does not mention the soul or spirit, nor does it describe life as naturally immortal or surviving death inherently.

Conditional Immortality (Hell context)

The verse states that believers "might have life through his name" but does not explicitly state that non-believers do not have life or that their existence ceases, nor does it mention anything about hell.
