Exegesis
The fronted prepositional phrase en touto {ἐν τούτῳ | en toútō} ‘by this’ frames the entire statement, emphasizing the basis for divine glorification.
The conjunction hina {ἵνα | hína} introduces a purpose-result clause linking visible fruitfulness (karpon polyn {καρπὸν πολὺν | karpón polýn}) to the subjunctives pherete {φέρητε | phérēte} and genesthe {γένησθε | génēsthe}, which bind fruit-bearing and becoming disciples into a unified outcome.
In context — John 15:8
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear abundant fruit and become My disciples .
