Exegesis
The final hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} clause grounds that knowledge in the Spirit’s relationship to them: par hymin menei kai en hymin estai {παρʼ ὑμῖν μένει καὶ ἐν ὑμῖν ἔσται | par hy-mîn mé-nei kaí en hy-mîn és-tai} moves from present companionship to future indwelling, with par {παρʼ | par} marking closeness and en {ἐν | en} marking interior presence.
In context — John 14:17
The Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see Him nor know Him. You know Him, because He remains with you and will be in you.
