Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} introduces a contrastive present situation: kai nyn hon echeis {καὶ νῦν ὃν ἔχεις | kaí nûn hòn é-kheis}, in which the adverb nyn “now” and the relative pronoun hon form a relative clause “whom you now have,” depicting the current relationship.
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 .
