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 emphatic negation ou mē dipsēsei {οὐ μὴ διψήσει | ou mḕ dip-sḗ-sei} combines two negation particles with the future indicative to guarantee that the subject “will certainly not thirst,” and the temporal phrase eis ton aiōna {εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα | eis tòn ai-ô-na} adds duration “for all time.”
