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.

²⁵ “These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. ²⁶ But the ^(U)Helper, the Holy Spirit, ^(V)whom the Father will send in My name, ^(W)He will teach you all things, and ^(X)bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. ^27 (Y)Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. ^(Z)Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.

²⁶ “When the ^[a](A)Helper comes, ^(B)whom I will send to you from the Father, that is ^(C)the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, ^(D)He will testify about Me, ^27 [b]and ^(E)you will testify also, because you have been with Me ^(F)from the beginning.

The Holy Spirit Promised

⁵ “But now ^(A)I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘^(B)Where are You going?’ ⁶ But because I have said these things to you, ^(C)sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the ^[a](D)Helper will not come to you; but if I go, ^(E)I will send Him to you. ⁸ And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; ⁹ concerning sin, ^(F)because they do not believe in Me; ¹⁰ and concerning ^(G)righteousness, because ^(H)I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; ^11 (I)and concerning 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 now. ¹³ But when He, ^(J)the Spirit of truth, comes, He will ^(K)guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. ¹⁴ He will ^(L)glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. ^15 (M)All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.
