John 16:9

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.

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

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;

11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
