John 16:5-11

5“But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts [and taken complete possession of them].

7But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you].

8And He, when He comes, will convict the world about [the guilt of] sin [and the need for a Savior], and about righteousness, and about judgment:

9about sin [and the true nature of it], because they do not believe in Me [and My message];

10about righteousness [personal integrity and godly character], because I am going to My Father and you will no longer see Me;

11about judgment [the certainty of it], because the ruler of this world (Satan) has been judged and condemned.
