Exegesis
The verb chorei {χωρεῖ | chō-reî} ‘has room, finds space’ is negated by ou {οὐ | ou}, yielding the idea that this word does not fit, advance, or gain acceptance en hymin {ἐν ὑμῖν | en hy-mîn} ‘in you’, where the dative plural points to the inner life of the hearers. The overall syntax juxtaposes an identity clause with a volitional clause, then grounds the hostile volition in an inner rejection of the speaker’s word, intensifying the tension between outward ancestry and inward responsiveness.
In context — John 8:37
I know that you are Abraham’s seed, but you seek to kill Me because My word does not find room in you.
