2 Peter 1:9

9 hW GAR MH PARESTIN TAUTA, TUFLOS ESTIN  
MUWPAZWN, LHQHN LABWN TOU KAQARISMOU TWN PALAI AUTOU hAMARTIWN.

Why is MH used with a verb in the present, active, indicative?  Is this an exception to the rule
or is there another reason for it?

AND

Is TAUTA nominative or accusative?  I am leaning on nominative, cf. 1:8, although my references disagree.


Thanks,
