A Living Sacrifice

12 Therefore, I urge you,(A) brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,(B) holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform(C) to the pattern of this world,(D) but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.(E) Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is(F)—his good, pleasing(G) and perfect will.

The Holy Spirit

16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another [a](A)Helper, so that He may be with you forever; 17 the Helper 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 remains with you and will be in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; (D)I am coming to you. 19 [b](E)After a little while, (F)the world no longer is going to see Me, but you are going to see Me; (G)because I live, you also will live. 20 (H)On that day you will know that (I)I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I in you. 21 (J)The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and (K)the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will (L)reveal Myself to him.” 22 (M)Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what has happened (N)that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, (O)If anyone loves Me, he will (P)follow My word; and (Q)My Father will love him, and We (R)will come to him and make Our dwelling with him. 24 The one who does not love Me (S)does not follow 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 remaining 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)remind you of all that I said to you.

16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate(A) to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth.(B) The world cannot accept him,(C) because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans;(D) I will come to you.(E) 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.(F) Because I live, you also will live.(G) 20 On that day(H) you will realize that I am in my Father,(I) and you are in me, and I am in you.(J) 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.(K) The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,(L) and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

22 Then Judas(M) (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”(N)

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.(O) My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.(P) 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.(Q)

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
