Counter-Arguments

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

Eternal Result Language

The verse explicitly uses the phrase "eternal life," which directly aligns with the theme's definition of using "eternal" to describe a permanent, irreversible result.

Conditional Immortality

The verse describes a reign of grace leading to eternal life, which could be interpreted as a description of how eternal life is achieved, rather than an assertion that it is inherently conditional.

Conditional Immortality (Hell context)

The verse focuses on the reign of sin leading to death versus the reign of grace leading to eternal life, without explicitly defining the nature or duration of "death" for the unsaved, thus not directly addressing whether they cease to exist or endure eternal conscious punishment.
