I hope such readers will be persuaded 
 that 
 the profundity and value of these ideas more than repay
 the intellectual struggle they require 

I hope such readers will reach the opinion that the deep significance and value of these ideas do reward the arduous mental effort they demand (of the reader).

  Since you didn't say what was giving you trouble, I broke it up into meaningful chunks in case you were thinking that an intellectual was being repaid, or some other misparsing. Did you read the sentence below?

Here's how I'd rewrite that sentence into simpler sentences:

I hope you've been persuaded that these ideas are worth learning. They require a good amount of intellectual struggle – you might have to think a lot to understand them. However, they are profound and valuable enough to outweigh that intellectual struggle.

  This a good paraphrase. I'd consider letting the parenthetical statement stand as a sentence on par with the others. For example: "You may indeed have to think a lot to understand them." My rationale for that is that although you've simplified the original you've also introduced a complexity that wasn't there at first―the abbreviated Latin phrase id est, which may be unfamiliar, or less straightforward, to some readers.
