Footnotes

  1. 131 Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”
  2. 132 Grk “If anyone keeps.”
  3. 133 Grk “my word.”
  4. 134 Grk “he will never see death forever.” The Greek negative here is emphatic. Those who keep Jesus’ words will not see death because they have already passed from death to life (cf. 5:24). In Johannine theology eternal life begins in the present rather than in the world to come.
