John 16:7-16

AUV(i) 7 Yet I am telling you the truth: It will be helpful to you for me to go away. For unless I go, the Helper [i.e., the Holy Spirit] will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He does come, He will bring conviction to the world regarding sin [i.e., exposing it and producing guilt], regarding what is right [i.e., upholding godly standards], and regarding judgment [i.e., showing that sin condemns]. 9 [The world will be proven guilty] of sin for not believing in me. 10 [It will be shown] what is right because I am going [back] to the Father and you will not see me anymore. 11 [And it will be shown] judgment, because the ruler of this world [i.e., Satan. See 12:31] has been condemned [i.e., by Jesus’ death and resurrection]. 12 “I still have many things to tell you, but you cannot bear [to hear] them at present. 13 However, when the Holy Spirit of truth comes, He will lead you [apostles] into all the truth. For He will not speak on His own authority, but will speak [only] what He hears [from the Father]. And He will tell you about the things that are to come. 14 He will honor me, for He will receive what belongs to me and will declare it to you. 15 Everything the Father has belongs to me. Therefore, I said that the Holy Spirit will receive what belongs to me and will declare it to you. 16 After a little while [longer] you will not see me anymore. Then a little while [later] you will see me again.”
