This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Abideth in me and I in him (en emoi menei kagō en autōi). Added to the phrase in Joh 6:54 in the place of echei zōēn aiōnion (has eternal life). The verb menō (to abide) expresses continual mystical fellowship between Christ and the believer as in Joh 15:4-7; 1Jo 2:6, 1Jo 2:27, 1Jo 2:28; 1Jo 3:6, 1Jo 3:24; 1Jo 4:12, 1Jo 4:16. There is, of course, no reference to the Lord’s Supper (Eucharist), but simply to mystical fellowship with Christ.
