The Key Word — πιστεύω, pisteuōgenerated
The word πιστεύω (pisteuō) means to believe or trust in someone, particularly in a religious context. It is an aorist active participle, indicating a completed action of believing. This word emphasizes the necessity of faith in Jesus for salvation, as it is used frequently in the New Testament.
In this verse, the participle πιστεύσας signifies a person who has believed, highlighting the active role of faith in the process of salvation. It is a foundational concept in Christian doctrine, emphasizing that belief precedes baptism and salvation.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.' This is consistent across several translations, including the KJV and ASV, which also emphasize the necessity of belief and baptism for salvation.
However, variations arise in the rendering of πιστεύσας. The BSB uses 'believes,' while the KJV opts for 'he that believeth,' and the ASV uses 'he that believeth.' The differences reflect stylistic choices rather than changes in meaning.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse is structured around two main clauses connected by a conjunction: the first clause discusses the condition of belief and baptism leading to salvation, while the second clause presents the consequence of disbelief leading to condemnation. The finite verbs are πιστεύσας and κατακριθήσεται, framing the overall message.
Each clause contains a subject and a verb, with the subjects being implicit in the context. The structure emphasizes the contrast between those who believe and are baptized and those who do not believe.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In Mark 16:16, the term πιστεύσας (pisteuō), meaning 'having believed', corresponds to the Hebrew אָמַן (āmān), which conveys the sense of confirming or supporting. This choice emphasizes the act of faith as a foundational element of salvation.
The word σωθήσεται· (sōzō), translated as 'will be saved', relates to the Hebrew terms יָשַׁע (yāšaʿ, meaning 'to deliver') and מָלַט (mālaṭ, meaning 'to slip away'). This connection highlights the theme of deliverance and safety that is central to the message of salvation in this verse.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Mark 16:16 tells us that whoever believes in Jesus and is baptized will be saved, while those who do not believe will be condemned. This verse is part of Jesus' instructions to His disciples as He commissions them to spread the gospel to all people.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Qui crediderit, et baptizatus fuerit, salvus erit : qui vero non crediderit, condemnabitur.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

The verse sits at the head of each block with the word under study lit, so you never lose your place. The panel above gives the short answer; this is the long one, and it is the part of the page worth indexing.
Every entry below is the lexicographer's own text. Imported from the CrossWire SWORD modules — Abbott-Smith, the full Liddell-Scott-Jones, Strong's, Dodson, the Intermediate LSJ, Robinson and Packard on the Greek, Webster and Cawdrey on the English the translators were using. Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word βαπτίζω (baptizō) means to dip or immerse, often in the context of ceremonial washing or baptism. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of baptizing, as well as the process of being baptized. The word can also imply overwhelming or submerging in a metaphorical sense. There is a note in the entries about its use in various contexts, including both literal and metaphorical applications.
βαπτίζω

[in LXX: IV Ki 5:14 (טבל), Is 21:4, Jth 12:7, Si 31 (34):30*;]

Lucian 7 νιον 44 makes the Misanthrope threaten ὠθεῖν καὶ ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν βαπτίζοντα. So in a fragment of Epictetus (Stobaeus no. 47—Schenkl p. 474), quoted by D. 5. Sharp, Epictetus and the NT, p. 66, ὥσπερ οὐκ ἂν ἐβούλου ἐν νηΐ μεγάλῃ Kal γλαφυρᾷ Kal πολυχρύσῳ πλέων βαπτίζεσθαι. With its use to express ceremonial ablution—as Lk 118 and the new Gospel-fragment P Oxy V. 840! μ[ή]τε μὴν τῶν μαθητῶν σου τοὺς πίόδας Balmricbévtwy—we may compare another magic papyrus P Lond 1214" (iii/A.p.)

σῴζω is a verb meaning 'to save' or 'to heal,' derived from a root meaning 'safe.' It encompasses a range of meanings from physical preservation to spiritual salvation, often appearing in contexts of rescue from danger or illness. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both physical healing and spiritual salvation, with references in Matthew, Mark, and Acts. Lexicons note its various applications, including saving from death and preserving from loss.
σώζω (on the more accurate σῴζω, v. WH, Intr., § 410; Bl., §3, 1-3),
[in LXX chiefly for ישׁע hi., also for מלט ni., נצל ni., etc. ;]

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

The Greek word ἀπιστέω (apisteo) means to disbelieve or be unfaithful. It is derived from the word ἄπιστος and covers a range of meanings including distrust and incredulity. In the New Testament, it appears in verses such as Mark 16:11 and Luke 24:11, where it refers to disbelief in the resurrection of Christ. Some lexicons note its connection to the word ἀπειθέω, which means to disobey.

κατακρίνω (katakrino) means to judge against or condemn. It is built from the prefix κατα- and the root κρίνω. The term covers both legal condemnation and metaphorical uses, such as condemning through example. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like judgment against individuals (e.g., John 8:10-11) and God's condemnation of sin (Romans 8:3).
