KAI HOS AN THE-lê en hy-MEEN EI-nai PRÔ-tos ES-tai hy-MÔN DOO-los
Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καί | kaí} connects this saying to the previous teaching, while the generic conditional relative clause hos án thélēi {ὃς ἂν θέλῃ | hós án thélēi} uses the modal particle án plus the present subjunctive thélēi ‘desires’ to indicate an open possibility.
Root and etymology
