{New} (kain(886e)). First, in contrast with the old
(archaios, palaios), the very adjective used in  1Jo 2:7 ) of
the "commandment" (entol(886e)) at once called old (palaia). They
had had it a long time, but the practice of it was new. Jesus
does not hesitate, like the Father, to give commandments
( 15:10,12 ). {That ye love one another} (hina agap(8374)e
all(886c)ous). Non-final use of hina with present active
subjunctive of agapa(935c), the object clause being in the
accusative case in apposition with entol(886e). Note the present
tense (linear action), "keep on loving." {Even as} (kath(9373)).
The measure of our love for another is set by Christ's love for
us.
