John 14:21 in context

John 14:21

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them [whoever carries them in their heart and therefore makes sure to follow them], that person is the one who [truly] loves me [selflessly and generously]. And whoever loves me will (will) be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself [personally manifest myself] to him.
[The two Gk. verbs echon (have, possess; hold fast to; carry) and teron (keep, preserve, consider; guards, watches over) show that it is not just a matter of being able to recite the commandments, but reinforce that it is a matter of obedience and a life wholly surrendered to God's will, see also verse 15.]
