John 9:31
God does not hear sinners (o qeov amartwlwn ouk akouei). Note genitive case with akouei. This was the argument of the Pharisees in John 9:16. It is frequent in the O.T. (Job 27:9; Psalms 66:18; Isaiah 1:15; Isaiah 59:2, etc.). The conclusion is inevitable from this premise. Jesus is not amartwlov.
If any man be a worshipper of God (ean tiv qeosebhv h). Condition of third class with ean and present active subjunctive h. Qeosebhv (qeov, God, sebomai, to worship) is an old compound adjective, here alone in the N.T.
And do his will (kai to qelhma autou poiei). Same condition with present active subjunctive of poiew, "keep on doing his will."
