New International Version NIV
23 "Because a loveless world," said Jesus, "is a sightless world. If anyone loves me, he will carefully keep my word and my Father will love him - we'll move right into the neighborhood!
23
Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
24 Not loving me means not keeping my words. The message you are hearing isn't mine. It's the message of the Father who sent me.
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.
25 "I'm telling you these things while I'm still living with you.
25
“All this I have spoken while still with you.
26 The Friend, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will make everything plain to you. He will remind you of all the things I have told you.
26
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
