John 16:12-15 (AMP)
“I have many more things to say to you, but you
cannot bear [to hear] them now. 13 But
when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full
and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He
will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the
Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the
future]. 14 He will glorify and honour
me, because He (the Holy Spirit) will take from what is Mine and will disclose
it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are
Mine. Because of this I said that He [the Spirit] will take from what
is Mine and will reveal it to you.”
12 “I have many more
things to say to you, but you cannot bear [to hear] them now.’’

obligated [as debtors] always to give thanks to God for you, believers beloved
by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation
through the sanctifying work of the Spirit [that sets you apart for God’s
purpose] and by your faith in the truth [of God’s word that leads you to
spiritual maturity].14 It was to this end that He called you
through our gospel [the good news of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection],
so that you may obtain and share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So
then, brother and sisters, stand firm and hold [tightly] to the traditions
which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.”
