Exegesis
The predicate ouk estin pros thanaton {οὐκ ἔστιν πρὸς θάνατον | ouk é-stin pros thá-na-ton} uses pros with the accusative to express direction or outcome, so the phrase points away from death as the final end.
In context — John 11:4
After hearing it, Jesus said, “This illness is not on course for death, but for the glory of God , so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
