Exegesis
The future verb dipseisei {διψήσει | dip-sḗ-sei} “will thirst” expresses the inevitable result of such drinking, while palin {πάλιν | pá-lin} “again” underscores repetition, reinforcing the inadequacy of the physical water to give lasting satisfaction. In translation, the participial phrase is rendered with a relative-like structure (“who drinks”) to sound natural while preserving the generic force, and the future clause is expressed as “will be thirsty again / will become thirsty again” to communicate repeated, not merely initial, thirst.
In context — John 4:13
Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks from this water will be thirsty again.”
