John 16:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ Your hearts are filled with ·sadness [grief; sorrow] because I have told you these things. ⁷ But I tell you the truth, it is ·better for you [for your advantage] that I go away. [^LFor] When I go away, I will send the ·Helper [Counselor; Advocate; ^Cthe Holy Spirit] to you. If I do not go away, the Helper will not come [to you]. ⁸ When the Helper comes, he will ·prove to the people of the world the truth about sin [^Lconvict/expose/convince the world about sin], about ·being right with God [^Lrighteousness], and about judgment [^Cthe meaning of this sentence is uncertain, as are the explanatory phrases in vv. 9–11].
