Exegesis
The future teresete {τηρήσετε | tērḗsete} ‘you will keep’ states the expected outcome of the condition, so the Greek presents obedience as the visible result of love, not as a separate command appended to it. The sentence therefore functions as a compact Johannine maxim: genuine love is demonstrated by loyal observance.
In context — John 14:15
If you love Me , you will remain faithful to My commandments .
