[B-Greek] John 15:9 - Use of Dative

In John 15:9 there is a use of the dative where it seems a genitive would
seem more suitable. The phrase in question reads, "MEINATE EN TH AGAPAH TH
EMN." Why is TH EMH in the dative? Is this a dative of sphere or is this
another use of the dative with which I am unfamiliar?

Thanks,
