Exegesis
The subject of the hoti-clause is the articular participial construction ho ton logon mou akouōn kai pisteuōn tō pempsanti me {ὁ τὸν λόγον μου ἀκούων καὶ πιστεύων τῷ πέμψαντί με | ho tón lógon mou akoúōn kaí pisteúōn tôi pémp-santi me}. Here the article ho converts the participle akouōn into a substantive, ‘the one who is hearing’, with the object ton logon mou ‘My word’, while the coordinated participle pisteuōn ‘believing’ and its dative complement tō pempsanti me ‘the One who sent Me’ further specify this person’s ongoing response. The use of present participles depicts hearing and believing as characteristic, continuing activities rather than momentary acts.
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.
