Exegesis
The adversative all {ἀλλʼ | all} introduces a stronger alternative, hē orge tou theou {ἡ ὀργὴ τοῦ θεοῦ | hē orgḗ tou the-oo} as the true state, with the present menei {μένει | mé-nei} “remains” indicating an abiding condition “upon him” (ep auton {ἐπʼ αὐτόν | ep au-tón}). The syntax thus contrasts ongoing believing versus ongoing disobedience, with corresponding present possession of eternal life versus an already-present divine wrath, making the eschatological reality present in the here and now. English renderings preserve the participial subjects with “the one who believes” and “the one who disobeys,” use “has” to mark present possession, and retain “remains” to reflect the durative aspect of menei.
Root and etymology

“to be stirred, to grow angry”
In context — John 3:36
The one who believes in the Son has eternal life; but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life, instead the wrath of God remains on him.
