John 17:21 That is, be continuing to be; or, keep on being; not ‘get to be’.
John 17:21 That is, one with Us (as defined by what follows, and equivalent to ‘may all abide in Us and Us in them’); or, one with each other (linking it to the command to love one another).
John 17:21 Or, in order that.
John 17:22 That is, the glory of Your name and word revealed through Me; or, the glory of My working through them, 14:13-14; or, the glory of humbly taking up their cross and serving You as I did; or, the glory of I in them (v 23), of the divine nature indwelling them (2 Pet 1:4).
