2. b. John 14:17,&c; John 16:13; Ephesians 4:8

   John 14:17–31

   ^14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. ^14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. ^14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. ^14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. ^14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ^14:22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? ^14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. ^14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. ^14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. ^14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. ^14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. ^14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. ^14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. ^14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. ^14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

   ^14:17 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. ^14:18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. ^14:19 In a little while the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you also will live. ^14:20 On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. ^14:21 Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him." ^14:22 Judas (not Iscariot) asked Him, "Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?" ^14:23 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. ^14:24 Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me. ^14:25 All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you. ^14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you. ^14:27 Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid. ^14:28 You heard Me say, 'I am going away, and I am coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I. ^14:29 And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe. ^14:30 I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me. ^14:31 But I do exactly what the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us go on from here.

   John 16:13

   ^16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

   ^16:13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.

   Ephesians 4:8

   ^4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

   ^4:8 This is why it says: "When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men."
