Counter-Arguments

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

Conditional Immortality (Hell context)

The verse contrasts "death" with "eternal life," but "death" in this context could refer to spiritual separation from God rather than a cessation of existence, which would not necessarily imply the unsaved cease to exist.

Eternal Result Language

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

Conditional Immortality

The verse contrasts "death" with "eternal life," implying that "death" is the natural consequence of sin, not necessarily the absence of an inherent immortality that could be granted.
