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 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.
The future passive arthethesetai {ἀρθήσεται | ar-thé-se-tai} with the preposition ap {ἀπʼ | ap} plus autou {αὐτοῦ | au-toû} expresses removal away from the person. The verse thus employs two parallel conditional-type structures, each with present possession contrasted with future outcome, to articulate a principle of increase and loss. In English, this is rendered with “whoever” clauses and future tense verbs, preserving the symmetrical structure and the emphatic contrast between abundance and deprivation.

For whoever has, it will be given to him, and he will have abundance ; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
