Exegesis

The subject of this clause is to euangelion {τὸ εὐαγγέλιον | tó eu-ag-gé-li-on}, and the prepositional phrase eis holon ton kosmon {εἰς ὅλον τὸν κόσμον | eis hó-lon tón kós-mon} intensifies the scope to “into the whole world,” emphasizing worldwide reach.

The final prepositional phrase eis mnemosynon autes {εἰς μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς | eis mnē-mó-sy-non au-tēs} expresses purpose or result, “for a memorial of her,” showing that the retelling functions as an ongoing remembrance in her honor. In English, the Greek word order—fronting the conditional clause and the relative clause—has been preserved in sequence but smoothed with standard subject–verb–object structure and explicit temporal and aspectual choices (“has done,” “will be spoken”) to convey the certainty and enduring scope implied by the Greek tenses and moods.
