Exegesis
A second protasis with ean {ἐάν | e-án} ‘if’ and the present subjunctive poiete {ποιῆτε | poi-ê-te} ‘you do’ links the condition to obedient action, with auta {αὐτά | au-tá} ‘them’ referring back to the teachings. This twofold structure moves from settled awareness to ongoing practice, preserving the conditional force of the Greek through both protases.
In context — John 13:17
