Exegesis
The first hoti-clause, hoti apothaneisthe en tais hamartiais hymon {ὅτι ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν | hó-ti a-po-tha-neî-sthe en taîs ha-mar-tí-ais hymôn}, gives the content of what was said: death remains located within the sphere of sin, with en plus the dative portraying a condition or realm rather than a mere location.
The second hoti-clause, hoti ego eimi {ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι | hó-ti e-gṓ ei-mi}, supplies the exact content of the required belief. The phrase is deliberately terse: Greek gives only “I am,” with emphatic ego and no supplied predicate, so the English keeps the same stark self-identification rather than adding an explicit object such as “He.”
