Exegesis
The verse begins with the fronted predicate adjective aposynagogous {ἀποσυναγώγους | aposunagṓgous} ‘outcasts from the synagogue,’ followed by the verb poiēsousin {ποιήσουσιν | poiḗsousin} ‘they will make’ and its object hymas {ὑμᾶς | hymâs} ‘you.’
The subordinating conjunction hina {ἵνα | hína} governs a result clause pas ho apokteinas hymas doxē latreian prospherein tō theō {πᾶς ὁ ἀποκτείνας ὑμᾶς δόξῃ λατρείαν προσφέρειν τῷ θεῷ | pâs ho apokteínas hymâs dóxē latreían prosphérein tō theō}, where the articular participle construction pas ho apokteinas indicates ‘everyone who kills you’ in a general sense.
In context — John 16:2
They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming when everyone who kills you will suppose he is offering service to God .
