John 16:3-10

English Standard Version

³ And they will do these things ^(A)because they have not known the Father, nor me. ⁴ But ^(B)I have said these things to you, that when ^(C)their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

“I did not say these things to you from the beginning, ^(D)because I was with you. ⁵ But now ^(E)I am going to him who sent me, and ^(F)none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ ⁶ But because I have said these things to you, ^(G)sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for ^(H)if I do not go away, ^(I)the Helper will not come to you. But ^(J)if ^(K)I go, ^(L)I will send him to you. ^8 (M)And when he comes, he will ^(N)convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: ⁹ concerning sin, ^(O)because they do not believe in me; ^10 (P)concerning righteousness, ^(Q)because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer;
