Exegesis
The clause ouk estin sou aner {οὐκ ἔστιν σου ἀνήρ | ouk É-stin sou anḗr} employs the present tense of eimi with the negation ouk to express an ongoing state, while sou functions as a possessive genitive modifying aner, yielding “is not your husband.”
In context — John 4:18
For you have had five husbands , and the man whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly .
