HO-stis gar E-khei do-THAY-se-tai au-TOI kai pe-ris-seu-THAY-se-tai HO-stis de ouk E-khei kai ho E-khei ar-THAY-se-tai ap au-TOU
Exegesis
The first clause, hostis gar ekhei dothesetai auto kai perisseuthesetai {ὅστις γὰρ ἔχει δοθήσεται αὐτῷ καὶ περισσευθήσεται | hóstis gár é-khei do-thé-se-tai au-tō kaí pe-ris-seu-thé-se-tai}, presents a pattern: present possession with ekhei {ἔχει | é-khei} is followed by two future passive verbs, dothesetai {δοθήσεται | do-thé-se-tai} and perisseuthesetai {περισσευθήσεται | pe-ris-seu-thé-se-tai}.
The following phrase kai ho ekhei arthethesetai ap autou {καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ | kaí hó é-khei ar-thé-se-tai ap au-toû} repeats ekhei {ἔχει | é-khei} to underscore that even existing possession is at risk.

In context — Matthew 13:12
