Exegesis
The final object zōēn aiōnion {ζωὴν αἰώνιον | zōēn aiōnion} functions specifically with the second phrase, highlighting that the ultimate aspect of the future reward is “eternal life.” English renderings mirror this structure by preserving the parallel temporal phrases, foregrounding the abundance of the reward, and making explicit the certainty conveyed by the emphatic negation.
Root and etymology
zaōzeta–alpha–omega

In context — Luke 18:30
Who will certainly not fail to receive many times more in this present time, and in the coming age, eternal life .
