In the biblical context, belief is a central tenet of Christian doctrine, as seen in <a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a>, which underscores the necessity of faith in Jesus Christ for eternal life. Baptism, as practiced in the early church, was an outward expression of an inward faith, symbolizing the believer's identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus (<a href="/romans/6-3.htm">Romans 6:3-4</a>). Historically, baptism was a common practice in Jewish culture for ritual purification, and its adoption into Christian practice signified a new covenant relationship with God. The phrase suggests a holistic approach to salvation, combining both internal belief and external demonstration through baptism.<p><b>but whoever does not believe will be condemned</b><br>This part of the verse highlights the critical role of belief in determining one's eternal destiny. The absence of belief results in condemnation, which aligns with the broader biblical narrative that emphasizes faith as the key to salvation (<a href="/hebrews/11-6.htm">Hebrews 11:6</a>). The concept of condemnation is rooted in the idea of divine judgment, as seen in passages like <a href="/john/3-18.htm">John 3:18</a>, where unbelief is equated with already being judged. Culturally, the notion of judgment was well understood in the ancient world, where legal systems often mirrored divine justice. This phrase serves as a warning and a call to faith, underscoring the urgency of accepting the message of the Gospel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The speaker of this verse, Jesus is giving final instructions to His disciples after His resurrection.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/d/disciples.htm">Disciples</a></b><br>The immediate audience of Jesus' command, tasked with spreading the Gospel.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/b/believers.htm">Believers</a></b><br>Those who accept the message of the Gospel and are baptized.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/n/non-believers.htm">Non-believers</a></b><br>Those who reject the message of the Gospel and face condemnation.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/b/baptism.htm">Baptism</a></b><br>A significant Christian sacrament symbolizing faith and obedience.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/f/faith_and_obedience.htm">Faith and Obedience</a></b><br>Belief in Jesus is the foundation of salvation, and baptism is an act of obedience that follows faith.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_baptism.htm">The Importance of Baptism</a></b><br>While belief is primary, baptism is a public declaration of faith and a step of obedience.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/condemnation_and_unbelief.htm">Condemnation and Unbelief</a></b><br>The absence of belief results in condemnation, highlighting the urgency of the Gospel message.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/e/evangelism_mandate.htm">Evangelism Mandate</a></b><br>As followers of Christ, we are called to share the Gospel, encouraging belief and baptism.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/a/assurance_of_salvation.htm">Assurance of Salvation</a></b><br>Believers can have confidence in their salvation through faith and the outward sign of baptism.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_mark_16.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Mark 16</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_was_the_radical_reformation.htm">What was the Radical Reformation?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_is_baptism_vital_in_christianity.htm">Why is baptism important in Christianity?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_if_one_rejects_belief_in_god.htm">What happens if one rejects belief in God?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_baptism_needed_for_salvation.htm">Is baptism essential for achieving salvation?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/mark/16.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(16) <span class= "bld">He that believeth not shall be damned.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">shall be condemned.</span> The Greek word does not necessarily imply the idea of irreversible endless condemnation which has come to be attached to the English one.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/mark/16-16.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Whoever</span><br /><span class="grk">ὁ</span> <span class="translit">(ho)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> </span><span class="str2">The, the definite article.
