New Testament

John 16:1-11 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. “I have said these things to you so that you will not fall away.

2. They will expel you from the synagogue, but an hour is coming that everyone who kills you will think they are offering service to God.

3. And they will do these things because they do not know the Father or me.

4. But I have said these things to you so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you about them. “And I have not said these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

5. But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and none of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’

6. But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.

7. But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

8. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment:

9. concerning sin, because they do not believe in me,

10. and concerning righteousness, because I am going away to the Father and you will see me no more,

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