and will come out
This phrase signifies the physical act of resurrection, where individuals will emerge from their graves. The Greek word used here is "ἐκπορεύσονται" (ekporeusontai), which implies a movement from one state to another. In the context of the resurrection, it highlights the transformative power of Christ's authority over life and death. Historically, this reflects the Jewish belief in bodily resurrection, a hope deeply rooted in the Old Testament, as seen in Daniel 12:2.

those who have done good
The phrase emphasizes the moral and ethical actions of individuals. The Greek word "ἀγαθὰ" (agatha) refers to actions that are inherently good, beneficial, and aligned with God's will. This reflects the biblical teaching that faith is evidenced by works (James 2:17). The historical context of this phrase is rooted in the Jewish understanding of righteousness, which was not merely about legalistic adherence to the law but about a heart aligned with God's purposes.

to the resurrection of life
This phrase promises eternal life to those who have lived righteously. The Greek word "ζωῆς" (zoēs) signifies not just life in a biological sense but a quality of life that is eternal and in communion with God. This concept is central to Christian eschatology, where the ultimate hope is not just survival after death but a transformed existence in the presence of God. Theologically, it underscores the Christian hope of heaven and eternal fellowship with the Creator.

and those who have done evil
Here, the focus shifts to those whose actions are contrary to God's will. The Greek word "φαῦλα" (phaula) denotes actions that are morally corrupt or worthless. This highlights the biblical teaching that actions have consequences, and there is a divine standard of justice. Historically, this reflects the Jewish understanding of divine retribution, where God is seen as the ultimate judge of human actions.

to the resurrection of judgment
This phrase speaks of a resurrection that leads to divine judgment. The Greek word "κρίσεως" (kriseōs) refers to a legal decision or verdict. In the biblical context, it signifies the final judgment where God will evaluate the lives of individuals. This is a sobering reminder of the reality of divine justice and the importance of living a life that honors God. Theologically, it emphasizes the dual outcomes of resurrection: eternal life for the righteous and judgment for the wicked, as seen in Revelation 20:12-15.

(29) Damnation.--Better, judgment. See Note on John 3:20. On "done good" and "done (practised) evil," see Notes on John 3:20-21. It is remarkable that these are the only instances where the words here and there used for "practice" and for "evil" occur in St. John. This double opposition, and the use of words which He does not use again, support the distinction in the earlier Note. The passages are comments on each other. The law of the spiritual resurrection now is the law of that which shall be hereafter. Those who, working out the truth, come to the light now, that their deeds may be manifested, because they are wrought in God, shall in the final testing, when the secrets of every heart shall be revealed, rise unto the resurrection of life, to dwell in eternal light. Those who, practising evil, choose the darkness now, shall in that final testing, when whatsoever has been spoken in the darkness shall be heard in the light, rise unto the resurrection of condemnation (Acts 24:15), bound in chains of darkness, and be cast into outer darkness. (Comp. Notes on Matthew 8:12; Matthew 25:46 and 1Corinthians 3:13 et seq.) . . .
