Exegesis
The apodosis is marked emphatically by the double negative ou mē {οὐ μὴ | oû mē}, which, combined with the aorist subjunctive eisélthē {εἰσέλθῃ | ei-sél-thē} ‘enter’, expresses a strong denial of future entry.
In context — Luke 18:17
Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it.
