You can translate this in an active form. AT: "my Father will love anyone who loves me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
my Father
This is an important title for God. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples)

why is it that you will show yourself to us
Here the word "show" refers to revealing how wonderful Jesus is. AT: "Why will you reveal yourself only to us" or "Why will you only let us see how wonderful you are?"
not to the world
Here "world" is a metonym that represents the people who oppose God. AT: "not to those who do not belong to God" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
