Exegesis
The articular participle construction ho pisteusas {ὁ πιστεύσας | pis-teú-sas} ‘the one having believed’ forms a substantive subject characterized by faith, coordinated by kai {καὶ | kaí} with the passive participle baptistheis {βαπτισθεὶς | bap-tis-theìs} ‘having been baptized’.
In context — Mark 16:16
The one who has believed and has been baptized will be saved; but the one who has not believed will be condemned .
