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

Inherent Immortality

The verse speaks of living "for ever" as a result of eating "this bread," implying a conditional immortality granted by an external source, rather than an inherent, natural immortality of the soul or spirit. It contrasts this with those who ate manna and "are dead," further suggesting that life everlasting is not an automatic human condition.
