John 14:16

The Holy SpiritGod's presenceComfort

14 If you ask Me for anything in My name, I will do it.

15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever—

17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.

18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
