(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

If ye love me (ean agapāte me). Third-class condition “if ye keep on loving (present active subjunctive, same contract form as indicative) me.” Cf. Joh 14:23.

Ye will keep (tērēsete). Future active of tēreō, not aorist imperative tērēsate (keep) as some MSS. have. For this phrase see also Joh 8:51; Joh 14:23, Joh 14:24; Joh 15:20; 1Jo 2:5. Continued love prevents disobedience.
