Exegesis
The final clause kai hē chara hymōn plerōthē {καὶ ἡ χαρὰ ὑμῶν πληρωθῇ | kaí hē kha-rá hy-môn plē-rō-thē̂} balances the first half of the verse and advances the thought from Jesus joy being present to the joy of the disciples being brought to full realization. The passive voice highlights that this fullness is received, not manufactured, and the paired clauses create a compact movement from instruction to indwelling joy to completed joy.
In context — John 15:11
I have spoken these things to you so that My joy may be within you, and your joy may be brought to fullness.
