cordance. The purpose of the appoint- ment is ἵνα tpets ὑπάγητε, ‘that you may go away” from me on your various missions, and thus (resuming the original figure of the vine and branches) καρπὸν Φέρητε, may bear fruit in my stead, and supplied by my life. Or to express this purpose in a manner which reveals the source of their power to bear fruit, ἵνα ὅ τι ἂν αἰτήσητε . . . δῷ ὑμῖν, see ver. 7, and xiv. 13.—Ver. 17. ταῦτα ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν. ‘These things” which I have now spoken “I enjoin upon you,” tva ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους, “in order that ye may love one another ”. site Vv. 18-25.

its own”; not always the case, but generally. ὅτι δὲ. . . 6 κόσμος, ‘but
because ye are not of the world,” do not belong to it, and are not morally identi- fied with it, ‘“‘ but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you”. So that the hatred of the world, instead of being depressing, should be exhilarating, as being an evidence and guarantee that they have been chosen by Christ.—Ver. 20. μνημονεύετε τοῦ λόγου . . . αὐτοῦ. µμνημονεύετε (from µνήµων, mindful), “ be mindful of,” some- times used pregnantly, as in 1 Thess. i. 3; Gal. ii, το; ‘the words which I said to you,” viz., in xiii. 16, and Mt. x. 24, 25. The outcome of the principle is seen in, 2 .Tim,, Ἡ, αι, and) 1, Peter, iv... 73. That He should speak of them as
