The Greek of John 3:16 is not a single word corresponding to “whosoever.” It is πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων—“everyone who is believing.” The restriction is unchanged: only those who believe have eternal life in Him.
The present participle therefore points to ongoing belief as what results in eternal life. That is still not works. Faith does not become labor merely because it lasts.
