rwp@John:10:13 @{Because he is a hireling} (\hoti misthtos estin\). And only that, without the shepherd heart that loves the sheep. Reason given for the conduct of the hireling after the parenthesis about the wolf. {And careth not for the sheep} (\kai ou melei auti peri tn probatn\). Literally, "and it is no care to him about the sheep." This use of the impersonal \melei\ (present active indicative) is quite common, as in kjv@Matthew:22:16|. But God does care (1Peter:5:7|).
