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.
