Exegesis
The two clauses are coordinated with kai {καὶ | kaí}, forming a balanced parallelism between “coming” and “believing,” “hunger” and “thirst,” which underscores the comprehensive satisfaction found in relation to Christ. In translation, the parallel structure and emphatic negation are preserved through repeated “will certainly not” or “will never,” while participles are rendered as “the one coming” and “the one believing” in formal style, and as “anyone who comes” and “whoever trusts” in dynamic style to communicate the ongoing, inclusive sense.
In context — John 6:35
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; the one coming to Me will certainly not hunger, and the one believing in Me will certainly never thirst.”
