Exegesis
The next clause, ho de agapon me agapethesetai hypo tou patros mou {ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν με ἀγαπηθήσεται ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρός μου | ho de a-ga-pōn me a-ga-pē-thē-se-tai hy-po tou pa-tros mou}, advances the thought with de rather than sharply contrasting it: love for Jesus results in future reception of the Father’s love, and hypo with the genitive presents the Father as the active personal agent.
