John 16:7-13

7But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.

8And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment.

9The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.

10Righteousness is available because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more.

11Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged.

12“There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now.

13When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.
