This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
God does not hear sinners (ho theos hamartōlōn ouk akouei). Note genitive case with akouei. This was the argument of the Pharisees in Joh 9:16. It is frequent in the O.T. (Job 27:9; Psa 66:18; Isa 1:15; Isa 59:2, etc.). The conclusion is inevitable from this premise. Jesus is not hamartōlos.
If any man be a worshipper of God (ean tis theosebēs ēi). Condition of third class with ean and present active subjunctive ēi. Theosebēs (theos, God, sebomai, to worship) is an old compound adjective, here alone in the N.T.
And do his will (kai to thelēma autou poiei). Same condition with present active subjunctive of poieō, “keep on doing his will.”
