“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
22

For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23

That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

25

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

Counter-Arguments

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

Conditional Immortality

The verse does not explicitly state that immortality is *not* inherent, only that it is *granted* through specific conditions.

Inherent Immortality

The verse speaks of a transition "from death unto life" and "everlasting life" for those who believe, which implies a *conferred* or *received* life, rather than an inherent, pre-existing immortality of the soul. The focus is on a change of state, not an intrinsic quality of the soul.

Conditional Immortality (Hell context)

The verse states that those who believe "hath everlasting life" and "is passed from death unto life," but it does not explicitly define the state or duration of existence for those who do not believe, thus not directly addressing the "hell context" of the theme.

Single Unified Return

This verse speaks of an individual's present possession of everlasting life and passage from death to life, without mentioning resurrection, judgment, or a gathering event. The focus is on an immediate spiritual state rather than a future unified return.

Final Resurrection

The verse speaks of a present possession of "everlasting life" and a present passing "from death unto life," indicating a spiritual state already achieved rather than a future bodily resurrection event. It focuses on the immediate consequences of hearing and believing, not a future physical rising.
