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.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
7 Ref `But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;
8 Ref and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;
9 Ref concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me;
10 Ref and concerning righteousness, because unto my Father I go away, and no more do ye behold me;
11 Ref and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world hath been judged.
12 Ref `I have yet many things to say to you, but ye are not able to bear `them' 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.
