Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis hon {εἰς ὃν | eis hon} ‘into whom’ marks the direction and object of this believing, with hon referring forward to the one identified by the relative clause apesteilen ekeinos {ἀπέστειλεν ἐκεῖνος | a-pé-stei-len e-keî-nos} ‘that One sent’. The order, with ekeinos placed after the verb, gives it emphatic force, highlighting “that One” (God) as the authoritative sender. In translation, the hina clause is rendered as an English “that” clause describing the content of the “work,” and the relative structure eis hon apesteilen ekeinos is conveyed as “in Him whom He sent” and “the One He has sent,” preserving both the focus on ongoing belief and the sending relationship between God and Jesus.
