John 14:18
16 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.
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
19 In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live.
20 On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
