| − | | | + | |Truly, truly, I say to you, that the one who hears my word and believes in Him who sent me has eternal life, and is not going into damnation; rather, he has moved from death into life. |
| − | | | + | |This verse indicates an instantaneous transformation. At the moment we believe we have eternal life, we are no longer heading toward damnation as we have just now, this very moment, moved from death to life. |
