e-GÔ a-PE-stei-la hy-MAS the-RI-dzein ho oukh hy-MEIS ke-ko-pi-A-ka-te AL-loi ke-ko-pi-A-ka-sin KAI hy-MEIS eis ton KO-pon au-TÔN ei-se-lê-LY-tha-te
Exegesis
The object of this infinitive is given by the neuter relative ho {ὃ | ho}, which introduces the clause ho ouch hymeis kekopiakate {ὃ οὐχ ὑμεῖς κεκοπιάκατε | ho oukh hy-meîs ke-ko-piá-ka-te}; here the negative particle ouch {οὐχ | oukh} placed immediately before the subject hymeis {ὑμεῖς | hy-meîs} strengthens the contrast “not you.”
Finally, kai hymeis eis ton kopon autōn eiselēlythate {καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν κόπον αὐτῶν εἰσεληλύθατε | kaí hy-meîs eis ton kó-pon au-tôn ei-se-lē-lý-tha-te} adds a coordinating clause where hymeis is repeated for emphasis, and the prepositional phrase eis ton kopon autōn specifies the sphere “into their labor.”
In context — John 4:38
I sent you to reap that which you have not labored for; others have labored , and you have entered into their labor.
