Exegesis
The core subject is the substantival participle ho me eiserchomenos {ὁ μὴ εἰσερχόμενος | ho mē eiserchómenos}, which operates generically, so English most naturally renders it with a class reference such as “anyone who does not enter.”
Root and etymology
heisepsilon–iota–sigma
“one, single”
In context — John 10:1
Truly, truly, I say to you, anyone who does not enter through the door into the courtyard of the sheep, but climbs up from elsewhere, that one is a thief and a robber.
