Exegesis
The adversative alla {ἀλλὰ | allá} introduces a contrasting predicate enochos estin aiōniou hamartēmatos {ἔνοχός ἐστιν αἰωνίου ἁμαρτήματος | énokhos es-tin aiô-níou ha-mart-ḗ-ma-tos}, where enochos serves predicatively and the genitive aiōniou hamartēmatos defines the liability “guilty of an eternal sin.” English expresses this generic statement with “whoever/blasphemes” and clarifies relationships using “against the Holy Spirit,” “forever,” and “of an eternal sin.”
In context — Mark 3:29
But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit does not have forgiveness forever, but is guilty of an eternal sin.
