Role of the Spirit
16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another [a](A)Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17 that is (B)the Spirit of truth, (C)whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; (D)I will come to you. 19 [b](E)After a little while (F)the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; (G)because I live, you will live also. 20 (H)In that day you will know that (I)I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 (J)He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and (K)he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will (L)disclose Myself to him.” 22 (M)Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened (N)that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “(O)If anyone loves Me, he will (P)keep My word; and (Q)My Father will love him, and We (R)will come to him and make Our abode with him.

John 14:16-23
New International Version
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate(A) to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth.(B) The world cannot accept him,(C) because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans;(D) I will come to you.(E) 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.(F) Because I live, you also will live.(G) 20 On that day(H) you will realize that I am in my Father,(I) and you are in me, and I am in you.(J) 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.(K) The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,(L) and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
22 Then Judas(M) (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”(N)
23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.(O) My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.(P)

John 14:16-23
King James Version
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
