“And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”
Matthew 25:46 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 25:46
The final verdict 'And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal' establishes two eternal destinies. 'Everlasting punishment' and 'life eternal' use the same Greek word (aiōnios—eternal), proving hell and heaven are equally eternal. This refutes annihilationism—punishment is ongoing, not mere cessation of existence. The parallelism underscores finality—no second chances, purgatory, or universalism. Every person faces one of two eternal outcomes.
