51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death."
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death."
51 I say this with absolute confidence. If you practice what I'm telling you, you'll never have to look death in the face."
51 Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death."
51 I tell you the truth, anyone who obeys my teaching will never die!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 8:51
Commentary on John 8:48-53
(Read John 8:48-53)
Observe Christ's disregard of the applause of men. those who are dead to the praises of men can bear their contempt. God will seek the honour of all who do not seek their own. In these verses we have the doctrine of the everlasting happiness of believers. We have the character of a believer; he is one that keeps the sayings of the Lord Jesus. And the privilege of a believer; he shall by no means see death for ever. Though now they cannot avoid seeing death, and tasting it also, yet they shall shortly be where it will be no more forever, Exodus 14:13.
