John 16:7-16

English Standard Version

⁷ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for ^(A)if I do not go away, ^(B)the Helper will not come to you. But ^(C)if ^(D)I go, ^(E)I will send him to you. ^8 (F)And when he comes, he will ^(G)convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: ⁹ concerning sin, ^(H)because they do not believe in me; ^10 (I)concerning righteousness, ^(J)because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; ^11 (K)concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world ^(L)is judged.

¹² “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. ¹³ When ^(M)the Spirit of truth comes, ^(N)he will ^(O)guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but ^(P)whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. ¹⁴ He will ^(Q)glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. ^15 (R)All that the Father has is mine; ^(S)therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy

^16 (T)“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and ^(U)again a little while, and you will see me.”
