This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Hath eternal life (echei zōēn aiōnion). Has now this spiritual life which is endless. See Joh 3:36. In Joh 5:24, Joh 5:25 Jesus speaks of spiritual life and spiritual death. In this passage (Joh 5:21-29) Jesus speaks now of physical life and death, now of spiritual, and one must notice carefully the quick transition. In Rev 20:14 we have the phrase “the second death” with which language compare Rev 20:4-6.
But hath passed out of death into life (alla metabebēken ek tou thanatou eis tēn zōēn). Perfect active indicative of metabainō, to pass from one place or state to another. Out of spiritual death into spiritual life and so no judgment (krisis).
