HIS
WORDS
[15] If you agape-love
me, you will keep my commandments.
[16] And I will
ask the father and he will give you another advocate, in order that he be with
you to eternity—
[17] the spirit of truth, whom the
world is not able to receive, because it does not behold him nor know [him]. You
know him, because he dwells with you and will be in you.
[18] I will not leave you orphans, I
come to you.
[19] Yet [a] little [while] and the
world no longer beholds me, but you behold me, because I zoe-live and you will
zoe-live.
[20] In that day
you will know that I [am] in my father and you in me and I in you.
[21] The [one] having
my commandments and keeping them,
that is the [one] agape-loving me; and the [one] agape-loving me will be
agape-loved by my father, and I will agape-love him and reveal myself to
him. |
