ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural
ἀδελφοί [
adelphoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). In this context Jesus is ultimately speaking of his “followers” (whether men or women, adults or children), but the familial connotation of “brothers and sisters” is also important to retain here.

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
(NASB2020)
These will go away into ageternal punishment, but the righteous into aheternal life.”
(NET2full)
And these will
depart into eternal punishment,
but the
righteous into eternal life.”
▼▼sn Here the ultimate destination of the righteous is
eternal life. In several places Matthew uses “life” or “eternal life” in proximity with “the kingdom of heaven” or merely “the kingdom,” suggesting a close relationship between the two concepts (compare
Matt 25:34 with v.
46;
Matt 19:16,
17,
29 with vv.
23,
24). Matthew consistently portrays “eternal life” as something a person enters in the world to come, whereas the Gospel of John sees “eternal life” as beginning in the present and continuing into the future (cf.
John 5:24).
