John 16:7
King James Bible: Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter [the Holy Spirit] will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
New International Bible: But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor [the Holy Spirit] will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
New American Standard Bible: But I tell you
the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the
Helper [the Holy Spirit] will not come to you; but if I go, I will send
Him to you.
