Exegesis
The apodosis in present indicative ouk echeis {οὐκ ἔχεις | ouk é-kheis} expresses the consequence of non-cleansing, with meros {μέρος | mé-ros} “part, share” and the prepositional phrase metʼ emou {μετʼ ἐμοῦ | met e-moû} indicating relational participation. The translation preserves the emphasis of the negative constructions and the logical link between the washing and fellowship.
In context — John 13:8
Peter said to Him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no share with Me.”
