John 16:7,13-15 NCV
But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go away. When I go away, I will send the Helper to you.
If I do not go away, the Helper will not come…But when the Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you into
all truth. He will not speak his own words, but he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you

John 14:25-26 CEV
I have told you these things while I am still with you. But the Holy Spirit will come and help you,

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 ESV

has prepared for those who love him”—these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For
the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
