Exegesis
A further coordinated clause, kai hymeis atimazete me {καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀτιμάζετέ με | kai hy-MEIS a-ti-MÁ-ze-te me}, introduces a sharp contrast by fronting the pronoun hymeis in opposition to ego. The present tense verbs timo and atimazete create an ongoing, durative picture: Jesus continually honors the Father, while “you” are continually dishonoring Him. The lexical pairing of timo ‘honor’ and atimazete ‘dishonor’ forms an explicit antithetical parallelism. In English, this structure is preserved by keeping three coordinated clauses and by using “but” and “and” to mirror the Greek conjunctions, while rendering the emphatic pronouns through word order and context rather than additional pronouns.
In context — John 8:49
Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon , but I honor my Father, and you dishonor Me.”
