8:51 I tell you the solemn truth, 2  if anyone obeys 3  my teaching, 4  he will never see death.” 5 

1 tn That is, “he has not abandoned me.”

2 tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

3 tn Grk “If anyone keeps.”

4 tn Grk “my word.”

5 tn Grk “he will never see death forever.” The Greek negative here is emphatic.
