Exegesis
The first clause, ho doulos {ὁ δοῦλος | ho doû-los} “the slave,” is introduced with the contrastive conjunction de {δὲ | dè} “but,” followed by the negative particle ou {οὐ | ou} and the verb menei {μένει | mé-nei} “remains,” creating a marked denial of permanence.
Root and etymology
oudeisomicron–upsilon–delta–epsilon–iota–sigma
“no one, nobody, nothing”
In context — John 8:35
But the slave does not remain in the house forever ; the son remains forever.
