John 14:16-24

New American Standard Bible 1995

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. ²⁴ He who does not love Me ^(S)does not keep My words; and ^(T)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
