John 16:1-15
“These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.
2 They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to GOD.
3 These things they will do because they have not known THE FATHER or ME.
4 But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 “But now I am going to HIM who sent ME; and none of you asks ME,
‘Where are YOU going?’
6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 But I tell you THE TRUTH, it is to your advantage that I go away;
for if I do not go away, THE HELPER will not come to you;
but if I go, I will send HIM to you.
8 And HE, when HE comes, will convict the world concerning sin and RIGHTEOUSNESS and judgment;
9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in ME;
10 and concerning RIGHTEOUSNESS, because I go to THE FATHER and you no longer see ME;
11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged
(by JESUS, THE JUST JUDGE).
12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 But when HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, comes,
HE will guide you into all THE TRUTH;
for HE will not speak on HIS own initiative,
but whatever HE hears, HE will speak;
and HE will disclose to you what is to come.
14 HE will glorify ME, for HE will take of MINE and will disclose it to you.
15 All things that THE FATHER has are MINE;
therefore I said that HE takes of MINE and will disclose it to you.
