Exegesis
The first hoti {ὅτι | hóti} is causal, grounding the Father’s love in the disciples’ response.
The second hoti {ὅτι | hóti} shifts from cause to content, introducing what they believe: egō {ἐγώ | egṓ} ‘I’ is placed with force at the start of the final clause, and para {παρά | pará} with the genitive tou theou {τοῦ θεοῦ | toû theoû} ‘of God’ marks source or provenance.
In context — John 16:27
For the Father Himself loves you, since you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from God .
