¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where ^(A)the Spirit of the Lord is, ^(B)there is freedom.

⁷ But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the ^[a](A)Helper will not come to you; but if I go, ^(B)I will send Him to you. ⁸ And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment: ⁹ regarding sin, ^(C)because they do not believe in Me; ¹⁰ and regarding ^(D)righteousness, because ^(E)I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me; ^11 (F)and regarding judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

¹² “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them at the present time. ¹³ But when He, ^(G)the Spirit of truth, comes, He will ^(H)guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

The Holy Spirit

¹⁶ I will ask the Father, and He will give you another ^[a](A)Helper, so that He may be with you forever; ¹⁷ the Helper 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 remains with you and will be in you.

⁸ but you will receive power ^(A)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be ^(B)My witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and ^(C)Samaria, and as far as ^(D)the remotest part of the earth.”

¹² Now we ^(A)have not received the spirit of ^(B)the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.

^16 (A)Do you not know that ^(B)you are a ^[a]temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

¹³ In ^[a]Him, ^[b]you also, after listening to ^(A)the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also ^[c]believed, you were ^(B)sealed in ^[d]Him with ^(C)the Holy Spirit of the promise,

²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, let’s follow ^(A)the Spirit as well.

¹⁸ And ^(A)do not get drunk with wine, ^[a]in which there is ^(B)debauchery, but be ^(C)filled with the Spirit,
