‏ John 15:14

 If ye do ( εαν ποιητε ). Condition of third class with  εαν and the present active subjunctive, "if ye keep on doing," not just spasmodic obedience. Just a different way of saying what is in verse 10. Obedience to Christ's commands is a prerequisite to discipleship and fellowship (spiritual friendship with Christ). He repeats it in the Great Commission (Mt 28:20,  ενετειλαμην, I commanded) with the very word used here ( εντελλομα, I command).
