John 14:15-17, 25-26 (NLT) “If you love me, obey my commandments. {16} And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, who will never leave you. {17} He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and will be in you. {25} I am telling you these things now while I am still with you. {26} But when the Father sends the Comforter as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.”
