Joh_14:15. A new exhortation—to keep His commandments in proof of their love to Him—in order, Joh_14:14, to attach a new promise thereto. But exhortation and promise are thus necessarily connected, as in Joh_14:11-12 ff. Hence the latter not without the former. Comp. Joh_14:21.
Note the emphatic
τὰς
ἐμάς
: which you have from me; they are not those of the O. T., but the completion of these. Comp. on Joh_13:34.
