John 16:8

The Holy SpiritSinJudgment

6 Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things.

7 But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:

9 in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me;

10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;
