{That in me ye may have peace} (hina en emoi eir(886e)(886e)
ech(8874)e). Present active subjunctive of ech(935c), "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}
( harseite). Imperative active from harsos, 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}
(eg(932c) nenik(886b)a ton kosmon). Perfect active indicative of
ika(935c), to be victorious, to conquer. Always of spiritual
victory in the N.T. See 1Jo 5:4f . This majestic proclamation of
victory over death may be compared with etelestai ({It is
finished}) in Joh 19:30 as Christ died and with Paul's
hupernik(936d)en (we are more than conquerors) in Ro 8:37 .
