{Toward him} (pros auton). Fellowship with (pros, face
to face) Christ. For boldness see  2:28 . {That} (hoti).
Declarative again, as in verse  11 . {If we ask anything} (ean
ti ait(936d)etha). Condition of third class with ean and present
middle (indirect) subjunctive (personal interest as in  Jas 4:3 ,
though the point is not to be pressed too far, for see  Mt
20:20,22  Joh 16:24,26 ). {According to his will} (kata to
thel(886d)a autou). This is the secret in all prayer, even in the
case of Jesus himself. For the phrase see  1Pe 4:19  Ga 1:4  Eph
1:5,11 . {He heareth us} (akouei h(886d)(936e)). Even when God does not
give us what we ask, in particular then ( Heb 5:7f. ).
