Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en pneumati kai aletheia {ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ | en pneu-ma-ti kai a-lē-thei-a} uses one preposition with two coordinated datives to form a tightly linked sphere-or-manner expression, so worship is not merely external action but worship that takes place in the proper spiritual and truthful mode. English order is adjusted for clarity, but the Greek logic remains intact: God’s nature grounds the necessity and manner of true worship.
In context — John 4:24
God is Spirit , and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.
