Exegesis
The coordinated clause kai arkei hēmin {καὶ ἀρκεῖ ἡμῖν | kaí ar-keî hē-mîn} completes the thought with a present-tense claim of sufficiency, so the verse moves from petition to confident consequence: if the Father is revealed, their need is met. The English renderings preserve this request-plus-sufficiency pattern while smoothing the Greek word order into natural direct speech.
