Exegesis
The object of this infinitive is given by the neuter relative ho {ὃ | ho}, which introduces the clause ho ouch hymeis kekopiakate {ὃ οὐχ ὑμεῖς κεκοπιάκατε | ho oukh hy-meîs ke-ko-piá-ka-te}; here the negative particle ouch {οὐχ | oukh} placed immediately before the subject hymeis {ὑμεῖς | hy-meîs} strengthens the contrast “not you.”
In context — John 4:38
I sent you to reap that which you have not labored for; others have labored , and you have entered into their labor.
