Exegesis

The imperative tereson {τήρησον | tḗ-rē-son} carries urgent protective force; the phrase en tō onomati sou {ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου | en tō onomáti sou} locates that keeping within the Father’s revealed name and authority, while the relative clause hō dedōkas moi {ᾧ δέδωκάς μοι | hō dé-dō-kas moi} specifies that the name is a gift already entrusted to the Son.

Hen {ἓν | hen} compresses the goal into corporate oneness, and kathōs {καθὼς | ka-thōs} leaves the comparison elliptical so the disciples’ unity is patterned after the relational unity already shared by Jesus and the Father.
