Exegesis
The Greek clause hos d’ an piē ek tou hydatos hou egō dōsō autō {ὃς δʼ ἂν πίῃ ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος οὗ ἐγὼ δώσω αὐτῷ | hòs d’ àn pí-ē ek toû hý-da-tos hoû egṓ dṓ-sō au-tō̂} serves as the subject, employing the particle of indefiniteness àn with the aorist subjunctive pí-ē to express an open invitation.
The predicate nominative construction pēgē hydatos hallomenou {πηγὴ ὕδατος ἁλλομένου | pē-gḗ hý-da-tos hal-lo-mé-nou} creates a compact image of “a spring of water leaping,” with the present middle participle depicting continual energetic motion.
In context — John 4:14
But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will absolutely never thirst for all time, but the water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water leaping up into eternal life .
