John 15:10

John 15:10

8 ^aBy this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; ^bso you will be My disciples.

Love and Joy Perfected

9 “As the Father ^aloved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

10 ^aIf you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and ^athat your joy may be full.

12 ^aThis is My ^bcommandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

13 ^aGreater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

14 ^aYou are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, ^afor all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

16 ^aYou did not choose Me, but I chose you and ^bappointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father ^cin My name He may give you.

Ye will abide (meneite). Future tense of menw, conclusion of the third-class condition (ean and first aorist active subjunctive thrhshte). The correlative of John 14:15. Each involves the other (love and keeping the commandments of Jesus).

And abide (kai menw). The high example of Jesus (the Son) in relation to the Father is set before us as the goal.
