‏ John 14:23

 If a man love me ( εαν τις αγαπα με ). Condition of third class with  εαν and present active subjunctive, "if one keep on loving me." That is key to the spiritual manifestation ( εμφανιζω ).

 We will come ( ελευσομεθα ). Future middle of  ερχομα and first person plural (the Father and I), not at the judgment, but here and now.

 And make our abode with him ( κα μονην παρ' αυτω ποιησομεθα ). See verse 2 for the word  μονη (dwelling, abiding place). If the Holy Spirit "abides" ( μενε, verse 17) in you, that heart becomes a temple ( ναος ) of the Holy Spirit (1Co 3:16f.), and so a fit dwelling place for the Father and the Son, a glorious and uplifting reality.
