John 16:7-14

7But what I tell you is true. It will be better for you if I go away. Because, if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I do go away, I will send him to you.

8When he comes, he will show the people of this world what they are like. He will show clearly that they are wrong. They are wrong about what sin really is. They are wrong about who is right with God. They are wrong about how God judges people.

9They are wrong about sin, because they do not believe in me.

10They are wrong about who is right with God, because I will go to the Father. Then you will not see me again.

11They are wrong about how God judges people, because God has already judged Satan, the ruler of this world.

12I have many more things to tell you. But you are not strong enough to know them now.

13But the Spirit will come. He is the one who shows people true things about God. When he comes, he will be a guide to you. He will help you to understand everything that is true. He will not speak on his own authority. He will tell you only what he hears from the Father. He will tell you about things that will happen after this time.

14He will take my message and he will tell it to you. In that way, he will give me honour.
