Exegesis
Hina {ἵνα | hí-na} introduces a purpose clause that governs two coordinated subjunctive clauses, ē {ᾖ | ê} and plerōthē {πληρωθῇ | plē-rō-thē̂}, so the sentence moves from the spoken word to its intended result.
The repeated article-noun pattern hē chara hē emē {ἡ χαρὰ ἡ ἐμὴ | hē kha-rá hē e-mḗ} puts strong emphasis on the joy that belongs to Jesus, while en hymin {ἐν ὑμῖν | en hy-mîn} marks an inward sphere rather than an external circumstance.
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.
