Counter-Arguments

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

Conditional Immortality (Hell context)

The verse describes two distinct outcomes after resurrection ("life" and "damnation") but does not explicitly define "damnation" as non-existence or a lack of eternal consciousness, thus not directly supporting the idea that the unsaved do not live forever in any state.

Judgment at Resurrection

The verse describes two distinct outcomes after resurrection ("resurrection of life" and "resurrection of damnation") based on prior actions ("done good" or "done evil"), which could be interpreted as a consequence of a judgment that has already occurred, rather than the judgment itself happening at the moment of resurrection.

Final Resurrection

The verse speaks of "a resurrection" but does not explicitly state that this is a singular, final event for all, rather than a series of resurrections or a metaphorical rising.

Two Resurrections

The verse describes two distinct outcomes for a single resurrection event, rather than two separate resurrection stages or events themselves.
