Exegesis
The purpose clause hina hē chara hymon e pepleromene {ἵνα ἡ χαρὰ ὑμῶν ᾖ πεπληρωμένη | hína hē chará hymōn ē peplērōmenē} states the goal of the new pattern of prayer: the disciples’ joy moves into a settled state of fullness. The combination of the subjunctive e and the perfect passive participle pepleromene gives the clause a stative force, presenting joy as not merely increased but brought into a completed condition.
Root and etymology
char-chi alpha rho
