Exegesis
The apodosis starts with ton logon mou teresei {τὸν λόγον μου τηρήσει | ton ló-gon mou tē-rē-sei}, where the future indicative frames keeping Jesus’ word as the expected consequence of genuine love rather than a mere possibility.
In context — John 14:23
Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word ; and My Father will love him, and We will come near to him and make Our dwelling with him.”
