Whereon ye have not laboured (ho ouch humeis kekopiakate). Perfect active indicative of kopiaō for which see Joh 4:6. So also kekopiakasin in next line. The disciples had done no sowing here in Sychar, only Jesus and the woman.

And ye (kai humeis). Emphatic contrast.
Have entered (eiselēluthate). Perfect active indicative of eiserchomai.
Into their labour (eis ton kopon autōn). Into the fruit and blessed results of their toil (kopos). This is always true as seen in Act 8:5-7, Act 8:14.
