Joh 14:24. Ὁ μὴ ἀγαπῶν με, he that loveth Me not) as is the case with the world. See Joh 14:22.-τοὺς λόγους μου, My words) The godly man is said to keep both the word and words, and the commandments, of Christ and of God; the hypocrite is said not to keep them: it is only the word, or words [not also the commandments], that the man who is professedly alien to Christ is said not to keep. To observe His word is the whole; to observe the commandments is the part.-οὐ τηρεῖ, keepeth not) and therefore is not loved [of the Father and Son, Joh 14:21], nor seeth the ‘abiding’ of the Father and Son in him.-καὶ ὁ λόγος, and the word) This clause has reference not only to the former words of this verse, but also to Joh 14:23; nay, even more to the latter, as is evident from the singular number being used here, as in Joh 14:23.-ὃν ἀκούετε, which ye hear) now also, whilst I am speaking these things with you.-ἀλλὰ, but) Hence is evident the reason why he who keepeth, or else keepeth not, the word of Jesus, hath the Father also (abiding with him), or else hath Him not accordingly.
