Exegesis
The direct object of timōsi is expressed first as ton huion {τὸν υἱόν | tón huión}, then, in a kathōs {καθὼς | kathṓs} comparative clause, as ton patera {τὸν πατέρα | tón patéra}, creating a syntactic parallel that equates the honor due to the Son and to the Father.
The main verb clause ou timāi ton patera {οὐ τιμᾷ τὸν πατέρα | ou timâi tón patéra} states the theological consequence: refusal to honor the Son renders any claimed honor for the Father invalid.
The final participial phrase ton pempsanta auton {τὸν πέμψαντα αὐτόν | tón pémpsanta autón} is in apposition to ton patera and functions almost like a relative clause, further defining the Father as “the One who sent Him.”
