Exegesis
The future indicative hexeis {ἕξεις | hé-xeis} ‘you will have’ introduces the promised result, governing thesauron {θησαυρὸν | thē-sau-ròn} ‘treasure’ and the prepositional phrase en ouranois {ἐν οὐρανοῖς | en ou-ra-noîs} ‘in the heavens’, which shifts the focus from earthly possessions to heavenly reward.
In context — Luke 18:22
When Jesus heard this, He said to him, “One thing you still lack: Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor , and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow Me.”
