Exegesis
The strong adversative alla {ἀλλὰ | allà} introduces a perfected contrast: metabebēken ek tou thanatou eis tēn zōēn {μεταβέβηκεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τὴν ζωήν | metabébēken ek toû thanátou eis tḗn zōḗn} uses the perfect tense to denote a completed transition from one sphere (death) to another (life) with abiding results. In translation, this structure is preserved by rendering the articular participles as a generic “whoever/the one who,” and by maintaining the sequence of present-tense realities (“has eternal life,” “does not come,” “has passed”) to reflect both the ongoing state and the completed transfer the perfect tense implies.
In context — John 5:24
Truly, truly, I say to you that whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
