Study Note
'And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.' Jesus's High Priestly Prayer defines eternal life as knowing God and Christ — a relational and cognitive category rather than merely temporal. The Greek 'ginōskōsin' (know) indicates ongoing, experiential knowledge rather than one-time informational acquisition, paralleling Jeremiah 31:34's 'they shall all know me.' The phrase 'the only true God' (ton monon alēthinon Theon) has been discussed in debates about subordinationism: Trinitarian interpreters read it as emphasizing the Father's monarchical source, not the Son's exclusion from divinity — a reading supported by Jesus immediately naming himself alongside the Father as the content of saving knowledge.
