Exegesis
The two ei-clauses form a balanced parallelism: ei eme edioxan kai hymas dioxousin {εἰ ἐμὲ ἐδίωξαν καὶ ὑμᾶς διώξουσιν | ei e-mé e-di-óx-an kai hy-más di-óx-ou-sin} and ei ton logon mou eteresan kai ton hymeteron teresousin {εἰ τὸν λόγον μου ἐτήρησαν καὶ τὸν ὑμέτερον τηρήσουσιν | ei ton ló-gon mou e-tē-re-san kai ton hy-mé-te-ron tē-rē-sou-sin}. In both, the aorist verbs describe the response already given, while the future verbs project that same pattern onto the disciples, turning the saying into a direct analogy between the speaker and his followers. The fronting of eme and hymas sharpens the contrast, and the repeated conditional structure gives the verse a measured, predictive force. In English, the saying is rendered with a proverb-like line and two matched conditionals so the logical symmetry remains clear.
In context — John 15:20
Keep in mind the word that I spoke to you: “A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will also keep yours.”
