Mark Wilson asks:

1 John 3:6a

PAS hO EN AUTWi MENWN OUC hAMARTANEI...

"Everyone abiding in him does not sin..."

How do we know what OUC is negating?


My understanding is that OUC generally stands with the indicative mood and
all othe moods usually take MH. If this is the case for the negative to
stand with MENWN (a participle) it would needs be MH. Since hAMARTANEI is
indicative it is best to associate the negative OUC with it in this case.
