16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, who will stay with you forever.

18 "When I go, you will not be left all alone; I will come back to you.

26 The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you.

26 "The Helper will come—the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God and who comes from the Father. I will send him to you from the Father, and he will speak about me.

7 But I am telling you the truth: it is better for you that I go away, because if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. But if I do go away, then I will send him to you.

3 Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the merciful Father, the God from whom all help comes! 4 He helps us in all our troubles, so that we are able to help others who have all kinds of troubles, using the same help that we ourselves have received from God.

5 Just as we have a share in Christ’s many sufferings, so also through Christ we share in God’s great help.

5 And may God, the source of patience and encouragement, enable you to have the same point of view among yourselves by following the example of Christ Jesus,

19 Whenever I am anxious and worried,

you comfort me and make me glad.

5 In my distress I called to the Lord;

he answered me and set me free.

16 *Never again will they hunger or thirst; neither sun nor any scorching heat will burn them, 17 *because the Lamb, who is in the center of the throne, will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of life-giving water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

12 The Lord says,

"I am the one who strengthens you.

Why should you fear mortals,

who are no more enduring than grass?

4 *"Happy are those who mourn;

God will comfort them!
