This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
6. ὁ δὲ μὴ γενεαλογούμενος. Οὐ, which might have been here expected, would simply state the fact. The μὴ is practically here a stronger negative because it denies the very conception. Comp. Luk 1:20, καὶ ἔσῃ … μὴ δυνάμενος λαλῆσαι. Joh 7:49, ὁ ὄχλος οὗτος ὁ μὴ γιγνώσκων τὸν νόμον.

εὐλόγηκεν, “and hath blessed.” SECOND point of superiority. The perfects imply that the acts are regarded as permanent and still continuous in their effects, in accordance with the writer’s manner of regarding Scripture as a living and present entity.
