That in me ye may have peace ( ινα εν εμο ειρηνην εχητε ). Present active subjunctive of εχω, "that ye may keep on having peace in me," even when I am put to death, peace to be found nowhere save in me (14:27).

Be of good cheer ( θαρσειτε ). Imperative active from θαρσος, courage (Ac 28:15). A word for courage in the face of danger, only here in John, but see Mt 9:2, 22; Mr 10:49.

I have overcome the world ( εγω, νενικηκα τον κοσμον ). Perfect active indicative of νικαω, to be victorious, to conquer. Always of spiritual victory in the N.T. See 1Jo 5:4f.
