John 5:24

Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὁ τὸν λόγον μου ἀκούων, καὶ πιστεύων τῷ πέμψαντί με, ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον· καὶ εἰς κρίσιν οὐκ ἔρχεται, ἀλλὰ μεταβέβηκεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τὴν ζωήν.

RBT Translation:

Stepping Over from one Base to another Base

Trustworthy One Trustworthy One, I am speaking to yourselves because the one who hears the Word of Myself, and who trusts the one who has sent myself, he is holding an eternal (aion) zoe-life and is not coming into a separation but rather has stepped over^73d from out of the Death into the Zoe-Life!

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
Truly, truly, I say to you, That he hearing my word, and believing him having sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into judgment; but has passed from death to life.

LITV Translation:
Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes the One who has sent Me, has everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

Stepping from one Base to another Base

Strongs NT #3327. The Greek word "μεταβαίνω" (metabaino): "Μετα-" (meta-): This prefix is derived from the Greek word "μετά" (meta), which generally indicates a change, transition, or movement from one state to another. "Βαίνω" (baino): This is the root verb, which means "to step" or "to walk." Combining the prefix and the root, "μεταβαίνω" (metabaino) conveys the idea of moving or transitioning from one place to another, often implying a change in location or condition. It can be translated as "to step/go over," "to cross over," or "to transition."

Relating it to "μεταβαίνω" (metabaino), we can see the concept of transition or movement from one base or foundation to another. In this context, "βάσις" (basis) represents a starting point or a stable foundation, while "μεταβαίνω" (metabaino) signifies the act of moving away from that base or foundation to another location or condition.

So, the connection could be understood as "transitioning away from a base" or "moving from one foundation to another," implying a shift or change in fundamental circumstances or conditions.

The English word "basis" is also derived from the Greek "βάσις" (basis). In English, "basis" retains a similar meaning, referring to the fundamental principle, foundation, or starting point upon which something is built or developed.
