{And now} (kai nun). John tenderly repeats the
exhortation, "keep on abiding in him." {If he shall be
manifested} (ean phaner(9374)h(8869)). Condition of third class with
ean and first aorist passive subjunctive as in verse  19  Col
3:3 . A clear reference to the second coming of Christ which may
be at any time. {That we have boldness} (hina sch(936d)en
parr(8873)ian). Purpose clause with hina and the ingressive second
aorist active subjunctive of ech(935c), "that we may get boldness."
{And not be ashamed} (kai m(8820)aischunth(936d)en). Likewise negative
purpose (after John's fashion) with m(885c) and the first aorist
passive subjunctive of aischun(935c), to put to shame. {Before him}
(ap' autou). "From him," as if shrinking away from Christ in
guilty surprise. See  2Th 1:9  for this use of apo (from the
face of the Lord).
