Exegesis
The adversative de {δὲ | dè} introduces a contrastive participial phrase, ho apisteusas {ὁ ἀπιστήσας | a-pis-tḗ-sas} ‘the one having not believed’, leading to the future passive katakrithesetai {κατακριθήσεται | ka-ta-kri-thḗ-se-tai} ‘will be condemned’. English renders the articular participles with relative clauses to maintain the original focus on belief as the determinant for salvation or condemnation.
In context — Mark 16:16
The one who has believed and has been baptized will be saved; but the one who has not believed will be condemned .
