Exegesis
The concluding segment touto alethes eirekas {τοῦτο ἀληθὲς εἴρηκας | toû-to a-lē-thés eí-rē-kas} fronts the demonstrative touto for emphasis, followed by the predicate adjective alethes and the perfect verb eirekas, which presents her speech as a completed action with continuing validity: “this you have said as something that stands true.” The English renderings preserve the temporal contrast between past and present relationships, the explanatory force of gar, and the emphatic positioning of “this” by reflecting it in the clause “this you have said truly” in the formal version and a clear summarizing sentence in the dynamic version.
In context — John 4:18
For you have had five husbands , and the man whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly .
