Exegesis
The final hymas {ὑμᾶς | hymâs} keeps the focus on the disciples as the recipients of that model. In English, the structure can be represented either by preserving the subordinate clause or by converting the command into a direct imperative while retaining the comparison to Jesus’ prior love.
In context — John 15:12
This commandment is Mine : that you love one another just as I have loved you.
