themselves of the blessings due them
because of the way they regards the Holy
Spirit.

though invisible to the optical eye.

And I will pray the Father, and he shall
give you another Comforter, that he may
abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit
of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not, neither
knoweth him: but ye know him; for he
dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
[John 14: 15-17]
9. • But the Comforter, which is the Holy
Ghost, whom the Father will send in
my name, he shall teach you all
things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have
said unto you.
[John 14: 26]
10. • Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is
expedient for you that I go away: for if I
go not away, the Comforter will not come
unto you; but if I depart, I will send him
unto you. And when he is come, he will
reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin,
because they believe not on me; Of
righteousness, because I go to my Father,
and ye see me no more; Of judgment,
because the prince of this world is
judged.
11. • I have yet many things to say unto you,
but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he
will guide you into all truth: for he shall
not speak of himself; but whatsoever he
shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will
shew you things to come. He shall glorify
me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall
shew it unto you
[John 16: 7-14]
12. • But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the
Father, even the Spirit of truth,
which proceedeth from the Father,
he shall testify of me: And ye also
shall bear witness, because ye have
been with me from the beginning.
[John 15: 26-27]
