John 16:7-15

The Voice

⁷ But the truth is that My departure will be a gift that will serve you well, because if I don’t leave, the great Helper will not come to your aid. When I leave, I will send Him to you. ^8-9 When He arrives, He will uncover the sins of the world, expose unbelief as sin, and allow all to see their sins in the light of righteousness for the first time. ¹⁰ This new awareness of righteousness is important because I am going to the Father and will no longer be present with you. ¹¹ The Spirit will also carry My judgment because the one who rules in this world has already been defeated.

¹² I have so much more to say, but you cannot absorb it right now. ^13-15 The Spirit of truth will come and guide you in all truth. He will not speak His own words to you; He will speak what He hears, revealing to you the things to come and bringing glory to Me. The Spirit has unlimited access to Me, to all that I possess and know, just as everything the Father has is Mine. That is the reason I am confident He will care for My own and reveal the path to you.
