Exegesis
The neuter plural object ta rhemata tou theou {τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ θεοῦ | ta rhḗmata tou theou} ‘the words of God’ uses the genitive to show that these utterances belong to or proceed from God, and akouei {ἀκούει | a-koú-ei} ‘hears’ presents an ongoing, characteristic response.
Root and etymology
rheorho–epsilon–omega

In context — John 8:47
The one who is from God hears the words of God. For this reason, you do not hear, because you are not from God.
