Exegesis
Both groups are followed by identical prepositional phrases eis anastasin {εἰς ἀνάστασιν | eis a-ná-sta-sin} “into resurrection,” which are then qualified by distinct genitives: zōēs {ζωῆς | zō-ês} “of life” and kriseōs {κρίσεως | krí-se-ōs} “of judgment.” This parallelism (resurrection of life / resurrection of judgment) creates a balanced, almost rhythmic structure that highlights the two alternative outcomes. In translation, the Greek articular participles are rendered as relative-like clauses (“those who have done… / those who have practiced…”) to keep the identification of the two groups clear, while the repeated prepositional structure is preserved to maintain the strong parallel between the two destinies.
