John 16

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

7 Ref But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

8 Ref And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:

9 Ref Of sin, because they have not faith in me;

10 Ref Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;

11 Ref Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

12 Ref I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

7 Ref Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.

8 Ref And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Ref of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Ref of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more;

11 Ref of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged.

12 Ref I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
