Exegesis
The conjunction hóti {ὅτι | hóti} ‘that’ introduces the explanatory clause: tòn huión autoû tòn monogenḗ {τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ | tòn huión autoû tòn monogenḗ} ‘His only Son’ is fronted for emphasis before the verb apestalken {ἀπέσταλκεν | apéstalken} ‘has sent’, with ho theós {ὁ θεός | ho theós} ‘God’ as the actor. The perfect tense underscores the ongoing significance of the Son’s sending.
