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 passive voice implies an unstated agent who grants and multiplies what is possessed, while the dative auto {αὐτῷ | au-tō} marks the beneficiary. The coordinated futures create escalating emphasis: not only “will it be given,” but also “it will abound.”
In context — Matthew 13:12
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.
