Exegesis

The verse begins with the articular participle ho pisteuon {ὁ πιστεύων | ho pisteúōn} ‘the one who believes,’ which functions substantively as the subject of the first clause.

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}.

In contextJohn 3:18
