‏ John 16:27

 Loveth ( φιλε ). Present active indicative of  φιλεω, the word for warm and friendly love, here used of God's love for the disciples, while in 3:16  αγαπαω occurs of God's love for the world.

 Ye have loved me ( πεφιληκατε ). Perfect active indicative of  φιλεω, "loved and still love me warmly."

 And have believed ( πεπιστευκατε ). Perfect active indicative again. Recall the exhortation in 14:1.
