Exegesis
The object phrase soi hydor zon {σοι ὕδωρ ζῶν | soi hý-dōr zôn} places the participle after the noun, a typical Greek attributive pattern that subtly emphasizes the quality “living.” In translation, the participles and conditional structure are rendered with clear finite verbs and relative clauses to preserve both the hypothetical force and the theological focus on revelation and offer.

In context — John 4:10
