John 15:12 Commentary - Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary
1) "This is my commandment," (aute estin he entois he eme) "This is (exists as) my commandment," as my remaining or continuous commandment, and because it is mine, never so fully given before, Heb 13:1; "Let brotherly love continue," progressively, or "let love roll on and on forever."
2) "That ye love one another," (hina agapate allelous) "in order that you all love (or affectionately care for) one another," Joh 13:34-35; By this, they had been assured, (that through love) all men could know or recognize that they were His disciples, even if they could not read or write.
3) "As I have loved you," (kathos egapesa humas) "Just as I have loved you all," whom I have called, chosen, and affectionately cared for to the end, Joh 13:1. The disciples were to become life-transparencies through which Jesus Christ might be seen, Mat 5:15-16.
