John 16:25-28
New International Version

25 “Though I have been speaking figuratively,(A) a time is coming(B) when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name.(C) I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me(D) and have believed that I came from God.(E) 28 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”(F)

25 “I have spoken of these matters in figures of speech, but soon I will stop speaking figuratively and will tell you plainly all about the Father. 26 Then you will ask in my name. I’m not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf, 27 for the Father himself loves you dearly because you love me and believe that I came from God.[a] 28 Yes, I came from the Father into the world, and now I will leave the world and return to the Father.”

Jesus Christ Has Overcome the World

25 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you (A)plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; 27 (B)for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and (C)have believed that I came forth from God. 28 (D)I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

John 16:25-28
New International Reader's Version

25 “I have not been speaking to you plainly. But a time is coming when I will speak clearly. Then I will tell you plainly about my Father. 26 When that day comes, you will ask for things in my name. I am not saying I will ask the Father instead of you asking him. 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me. He also loves you because you have believed that I came from God. 28 I came from the Father and entered the world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”
