V.1 "ever" following "whoso" indicates perpetuity of person. Regenerate believers now possess eternal life. The "eth" suffix of "believe" indicates the perpetual tense of the verb. Hence an ongoing person engaged in an ongoing activity which specifically is believing a "that" Jesus- not an "any" Jesus. The "that" Jesus is meticulously and conspicuously the subject of all scripture. There is but one real Jesus who is the Christ. None believe that Jesus is the Chirist but that they are first "born of God". Believing that Jesus is the Christ does Not motivate God to save the man. Believing that that exclusive Jesus the Word of God testifies of indicates that God has generated or if you prefer, regenerated the man. As it is written Salvation (being born of God) is of the (one) Lord.
