Exegesis
These are further qualified by the indefinite relative clause hosa ean blasphemesosin {ὅσα ἐὰν βλασφημήσωσιν | hósa eàn blasphēmḗsōsin}, where hosa generalizes the scope (“whatever things”) and ean with the aorist subjunctive blasphemesosin gives an open, potentially iterative condition (“whenever they might blaspheme”). The formal translation mirrors the idiomatic “sons of men” and preserves the explicit list of “sins” and “blasphemies,” while the dynamic translation recasts the idiom as “people’s” and streamlines the relative clause into “every blasphemy they might commit” to convey the universal range of offenses in natural contemporary English.
In context — Mark 3:28
Truly, I say to you, all the sins will be forgiven to the sons of men, and the blasphemies , whatever they may blaspheme.
