rwp @1John:5:3 @{This } (\haut ˆ\) {--that } (\hina \). Explanatory use of \hina \ with \haut ˆ\, as in strkjv @John:17:3 |, to show what "the love of God " (4:9 ,12 |) in the objective sense is , not mere declamatory boasting (4:20 |), but obedience to God 's commands , "that we keep on keeping (present active subjunctive as in strkjv @2:3 |) his commandments ." This is the supreme test . {Are not grievous } (\bareiai ouk eisin \). "Not heavy ," the adjective in strkjv @Matthew:23:4 | with \phortia \ (burdens ), with \lupoi \ (wolves ) in strkjv @Acts:20:29 |, of Paul 's letters in strkjv @2Corinthians:10:10 |, of the charges against Paul in strkjv @Acts:25:7 |. Love for God lightens his commands .
