I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever Even the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever ġ7 Even the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.ġ8 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.ġ9 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.Ģ0 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.Ģ1 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.Ģ2 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?Ģ3 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.Ģ4 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.Ģ5 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.Ģ6 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. If you love me, you will keep my commandments. The commandments of the Father kept by Christ were not only the precepts of the moral law, and the rites of the ceremonial one, which he strictly observed but the preaching of the Gospel, and submitting to the ordinances of it, doing of miracles, and laying down his life for his people in performing which, as his Father testified his approbation of them, and how strongly he was affected to him, what an abiding he had in his love so Christ hereby showed his constant and continued love to his Father and which was done by him, that the world, as well as his disciples, might know how much he loved him see ( John 14:31 ). If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love even as I have kept my Fathers commandments, and abide in his love.

Not that their continuance in the heart's love and affection of Christ depended upon their observation of his commands for as the keeping of them is not the cause or reason of the saints having an interest in the love of Christ, so it is not the cause or reason of their abiding in it but to such that observe the commandments of Christ he will continue to make further discoveries of his love, and let them see more clearly and largely what a value he has for them, and how much he loves them: or the sense is, that by keeping the commandments of Christ, his disciples and followers show that they love him, and continue in their affection to him:Įven as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. Not that Christ doubted of the love of his disciples to him but he argues from it to their observance of his precepts, seeing ye. If ye keep my commandments ye shall abide in my love John.14 Verses 15 to 15 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever 17 Even the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever Even the Spirit.

If you love me keep my commandments kjv
