John 16:7

7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate ^{▼▼ Or “Helper” or “Counselor”; Grk “Paraclete,” from the Greek word παράκλητος (paraklētos). See the note on the word “Advocate” in John 14:16 for a discussion of how this word is translated.} will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.
