John 16:7-11

7 "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the ¹Helper will not come to you; but if I go, ²I will send Him to you.

8 "And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;

9 concerning sin, ³because they do not believe in Me;

10 and concerning ⁴righteousness, because ⁵I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;

11 ⁶and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
