New International Reader's Version

John 16:3-8 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

3. They will do things like that because they do not know the Father or me.

4. "Why have I told you this? So that when the time comes, you will remember that I warned you. I didn't tell you this at first because I was with you.

5. "Now I am going to the One who sent me. But none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'

6. Because I have said these things, you are filled with sadness.

7. "But what I'm about to tell you is true. It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Friend will not come to help you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

8. When he comes, he will prove that the world's people are guilty. He will prove their guilt concerning sin and godliness and judgment.
