Exegesis
Within that comparison, tetereka {τετήρηκα | te-tḗ-rē-ka} presents His obedience to the Father as completed with continuing force, while meno {μένω | mé-nō} keeps the second half in the present tense to show ongoing abiding.
In context — John 15:10
If you keep My commandments , you will continue in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and continue in His love.
