Another Counselor Promised

15 “If you love Me, you will keep[a] My commands.(A) 16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor(B) to be with you forever. 17 He is the Spirit(C) of truth.(D) The world is unable to receive Him because it doesn’t see Him or know Him. But you do know Him, because He remains with you and will be[b] in you.(E) 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

19 “In a little while the world will see Me no longer,(F) but you will see Me.(G) Because I live, you will live(H) too. 20 In that day you will know that I am in My Father,(I) you are in Me, and I am in you. 21 The one who has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me.(J) And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father.(K) I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”

22 Judas(L) (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it You’re going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”(M)

23 Jesus answered, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.(N) 24 The one who doesn’t love Me will not keep My words. The word that you hear is not Mine but is from the Father who sent Me.(O)

25 “I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit(P)—the Father will send(Q) Him in My name—will teach you all things(R) and remind you of everything I have told you.(S)
