John 16:7-13

English Standard Version

⁷Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for ^(A)if I do not go away, ^(B)the Helper will not come to you. But ^(C)if ^(D)I go, ^(E)I will send him to you. ⁸^(F)And when he comes, he will ^(G)convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: ⁹concerning sin, ^(H)because they do not believe in me; ¹⁰^(I)concerning righteousness, ^(J)because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; ¹¹^(K)concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world ^(L)is judged.

¹²“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. ¹³When ^(M)the Spirit of truth comes, ^(N)he will ^(O)guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but ^(P)whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

New International Version

⁷But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate^(A) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.^(B) ⁸When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: ⁹about sin,^(C) because people do not believe in me; ¹⁰about righteousness,^(D) because I am going to the Father,^(E) where you can see me no longer; ¹¹and about judgment, because the prince of this world^(F) now stands condemned.

¹²“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.^(G) ¹³But when he, the Spirit of truth,^(H) comes, he will guide you into all the truth.^(I) He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

John 16:7-13

King James Version

⁷Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

⁸And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹Of sin, because they believe not on me;

¹⁰Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

¹¹Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

¹²I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
