Exegesis

The predicate consists of a series of finite verbs: echei zōēn aiōnion {ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον | ékhei zōḗn aiṓnion} ‘has eternal life’ presents life as a present possession; this is followed by kai eis krisin ouk erchetai {καὶ εἰς κρίσιν οὐκ ἔρχεται | kaí eis krísin ouk érchetai} ‘and does not come into judgment’, where the prepositional phrase eis krisin expresses movement into a judicial situation that is explicitly denied.

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.
