‏ John 9:31

God does not hear sinners ( ο θεος αμαρτωλων ουκ ακουε ). Note genitive case with ακουε. This was the argument of the Pharisees in 9:16. It is frequent in the O.T. (Job 27:9; Ps 66:18; Isa 1:15; 59:2, etc.). The conclusion is inevitable from this premise. Jesus is not αμαρτωλος.

If any man be a worshipper of God ( εαν τις θεοσεβης η ). Condition of third class with εαν and present active subjunctive η. Θεοσεβης ( θεος, God, σεβομα, to worship) is an old compound adjective, here alone in the N.T.

And do his will ( κα το θελημα αυτου ποιε ). Same condition with present active subjunctive of ποιεω, "keep on doing his will."
