Amplified Bible
John 16:7-14
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.
12“I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear [to hear] them now.
13But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future].
14He will glorify and honor Me, because He (the Holy Spirit) will take from what is Mine and will disclose it to you.
