NETBible

Do not work for the food that disappears,¹ but for the food that remains to eternal life – the food² which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.”³

NET Notes

¹tn Or “perishes” (this might refer to spoiling, but is more focused on the temporary nature of this kind of food).

¹sn Do not work for the food that disappears. Note the wordplay on “work” here. This does not imply “working” for salvation, since the “work” is later explained (in John 6:29) as “to believe in the one whom he (the Father) sent.”

²tn The referent (the food) has been specified for clarity by repeating the word “food” from the previous clause.

³tn Grk “on this one.”
