17. The Helper is the Spirit of truth. The people of the world cannot accept him, because they don’t see him or know him. But you know him. He lives with you, and he will be in you.
18. “I will not leave you all alone like orphans. I will come back to you.
19. In a very short time the people in the world will not see me anymore. But you will see me. You will live because I live.
20. On that day you will know that I am in the Father. You will know that you are in me and I am in you.
21. Those who really love me are the ones who not only know my commands but also obey them. My Father will love such people, and I will love them. I will make myself known to them.”
22. Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “Lord, how will you make yourself known to us, but not to the world?”
23. Jesus answered, “All who love me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. My Father and I will come to them and live with them.
24. But anyone who does not love me does not obey my teaching. This teaching that you hear is not really mine. It is from my Father who sent me.
