Exegesis
The relative pronoun ha {ἃ | ha} gathers the commanded content into a single object, and ego {ἐγώ | egō} is explicit for emphasis before entellomai {ἐντέλλομαι | en-tél-lo-mai}, underscoring the personal authority of the speaker. Syntactically, the verse holds identity and obedience together: friendship is affirmed in the main clause, but the conditional clause shows that this relationship is evidenced by sustained responsiveness to Jesus’ commands.
