John 14:15-31
New American Standard Bible
15 “(A)If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
The Holy Spirit
16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another [a](B)Helper, so that He may be with you forever; 17 the Helper is (C)the Spirit of truth, (D)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.
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; (E)I am coming to you. 19 [b](F)After a little while, (G)the world no longer is going to see Me, but you are going to see Me; (H)because I live, you also will live. 20 (I)On that day you will know that (J)I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I in you. 21 (K)The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and (L)the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will (M)reveal Myself to him.” 22 (N)Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what has happened (O)that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “(P)If anyone loves Me, he will (Q)follow My word; and (R)My Father will love him, and We (S)will come to him and make Our dwelling with him. 24 The one who does not love Me (T)does not follow My words; and (U)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
25 “These things I have spoken to you while remaining with you. 26 But the (V)Helper, the Holy Spirit (W)whom the Father will send in My name, (X)He will teach you all things, and (Y)remind you of all that I said to you. 27 (Z)Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. (AA)[c]Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor [d]fearful. 28 (AB)You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and (AC)I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced [e]because (AD)I am going to the Father, for (AE)the Father is greater than I. 29 And now (AF)I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe. 30 I will not speak much more with you, for (AG)the ruler of the world is coming, and he has [f]nothing in regard to Me, 31 but so that the world may know that I love the Father, [g]I do exactly as (AH)the Father commanded Me. Get up, (AI)let’s go from here.

New Living Translation
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15 “If you love me, obey[a] my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,[b] who will never leave you. 17 He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.[c] 18 No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you. 19 Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live. 20 When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.”
22 Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name) said to him, “Lord, why are you going to reveal yourself only to us and not to the world at large?”
23 Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. 24 Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me. And remember, my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me. 25 I am telling you these things now while I am still with you. 26 But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. 28 Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really loved me, you would be happy that I am going to the Father, who is greater than I am. 29 I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.
30 “I don’t have much more time to talk to you, because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me, 31 but I will do what the Father requires of me, so that the world will know that I love the Father. Come, let’s be going.
