And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; concerning sin, (C)because they do not believe in Me; 10 and concerning (D)righteousness, because (E)I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11 (F)and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
