‏ 1 John 2:28

And now ( κα νυν ). John tenderly repeats the exhortation, "keep on abiding in him."

If he shall be manifested ( εαν φανερωθη ). Condition of third class with εαν and first aorist passive subjunctive as in verse 19; Col 3:3. A clear reference to the second coming of Christ which may be at any time.

That we have boldness ( ινα σχωμεν παρρησιαν ). Purpose clause with ινα and the ingressive second aorist active subjunctive of εχω, "that we may get boldness."

And not be ashamed ( κα μη αισχυνθωμεν ). Likewise negative purpose (after John's fashion) with μη and the first aorist passive subjunctive of αισχυνω, to put to shame.

Before him ( απ' αυτου ). "From him," as if shrinking away from Christ in guilty surprise. See 2Th 1:9 for this use of απο (from the face of the Lord).
