6 You are very sad from hearing all this.
7 But I tell you that I am going to do what is best for you. That is why I am going away. The Holy Spirit cannot come to help you until I leave. But after I am gone, I will send the Spirit to you.
8 The Spirit will come and show the people of this world the truth about sin and God's justice and the judgment.
9 The Spirit will show them that they are wrong about sin, because they didn't have faith in me.
10 They are wrong about God's justice, because I am going to the Father, and you won't see me again.
11 And they are wrong about the judgment, because God has already judged the ruler of this world.
12 I have much more to say to you, but right now it would be more than you could understand.
