Exegesis
The verse opens with the emphatic negation kai ou mē {καὶ οὐ μὴ | kaì ou mḕ}, combining the conjunction and doubled negative particles to exclude any possibility.
The exceptive particle ei mē {εἰ μὴ | ei mḗ} sets off hoi gegrammenoi {οἱ γεγραμμένοι | hoi gegramménoi} ‘those who have been written,’ a perfect passive participle substantive indicating completed inscription.
