John 16:25-27

Worldwide English (New Testament)

²⁵ `I have told you these things by a story. The time will come when I will not talk by stories. I will tell you about my Father plainly.

²⁶ When that day comes, you will ask in my name. I do not say that I will ask my Father for you.

²⁷ My Father himself loves you. He loves you because you have loved me. And he loves you because you have believed that God sent me.
