καθὼς ἀπέστειλέν με ὁ ζῶν πατὴρ κἀγὼ ζῶ διὰ τὸν πατέρα, καὶ ὁ τρώγων με κἀκεῖνος ζήσει δι' ἐμέ.
Rough Word-by-word:
And as he has sent me the living father also I live for the sake of the father, and the one eating me also this one he will live for the sake of me.
Smooth Translation:
And as the living father sent me, I also live for the sake of the father, and the one who eats me, this one will also live for the sake of me.
Notes:
The implications of the accusative use of the preposition διὰ carry some significance. This is not the genitive use indicating agency ("through," or "by means of"), but rather the accusative, as B. F. Wescott puts it,"describing the ground or object." Some translations render this "for," "by," or "because of."
Jesus is saying here that those who take him into themselves for sustenance will (note the force of the future verb) live for him. As Dr. Gary Staats often says, "If there's fire in the fireplace there ought to be smoke coming out of the chimney."
