John 16:6-7

16:6 Instead your hearts are filled with sadness ¹  because I have said these things to you. 16:7 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 ²  will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.

[16:6]  ¹ tn Or “distress” or “grief.”

[16:7]  ² tn Or “Helper” or “Counselor”; Grk “Paraclete,” from the Greek word παράκλητος (paraklhto"). See the note on the word “Advocate” in John 14:16 for a discussion of how this word is translated.
