Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis auton {εἰς αὐτόν | eis autón} directs belief toward a personal object, not a mere idea.
Finally, eis to onoma tou monogenous huiou tou theou {εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ μονογενοῦς υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ | eis tò ónoma tou monogeneoûs huioû tou theoû} ‘into the name of the only-begotten Son of God’ uses name-language metonymically for the Son’s person and authority; the genitive chain identifies His unique filial identity and the basis on which belief or unbelief is measured.
In context — John 3:18
The person who believes in Him does not face judgment , but the person who does not believe has already been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God .
