Exegesis
A second substantival participle, ho de me pisteuon {ὁ δὲ μὴ πιστεύων | ho dè mē pisteúōn} ‘but the one who does not believe,’ creates the stark contrast introduced by de {δὲ | de}.
The causal clause hoti me pepisteuken {ὅτι μὴ πεπίστευκεν | hóti mē pepísteuken} ‘because he has not believed’ explains the ground of that verdict, with the perfect active highlighting a continuing refusal rather than a momentary lapse.
In context — John 3:18
The person who believes in Him does not face judgment , but the person who does not believe has already been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God .
