Exegesis
Hydatos zontos {ὕδατος ζῶντος | hy-da-tos zōn-tos} is a genitive of quality, so the water is defined as living, life-bearing water. The verse therefore moves from inward faith to outward abundance, creating a compact image of life that does not remain hidden.
Root and etymology
zaozeta alpha omega
“to live, to be alive”
In context — John 7:38
The one who believes in Me , just as the Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from his inner being.
