Exegesis
The verb phrase legō hymin {λέγω ὑμῖν | légō hymîn} ‘I say to you’ introduces a content clause marked by hoti {ὅτι | hóti} ‘that’, which signals reported speech rather than causal force in this context.
In context — John 5:24
Truly, truly, I say to you that whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
