Bible Study, The Testimony of the Counselor, John 16

Bible Study, The Testimony of the Counselor, John 16


Among the bible study, I will tell you about The Testimony of the Counselor(John 16)

I'm not that good either, but I hope this helps.

- Main reference: John 16:8-15 -

Bible study, The Spirit of truth Another counselor

As it is written in 1Jn 2:1,

Jesus was the Advocate or the Counselor at the First Coming.

The “another counselor” whom Jesus promised to send

is referring to the Counselor, the Spirit of truth,

mentioned in the reference verse.

The Counselor who comes from heaven is the Spirit of truth, 

and it is written that the Spirit of Truth will be inside a person(John 14:16-17).

Therefore, the person is clothed with the Spirit of Truth, 

while the Spirit of Truth is clothed with that person.  

These two entities become one, just as God and Jesus were one(John 10:30).


요한일서 2장 1절에 보면, 초림 당시 예수님을 대언자 곧 보혜사라고 했습니다.(난하주 참고)

그리고 요한복음 14장에 보면, 예수님은 '다른 보혜사'를 보내신다고 하셨는데요.

이 '다른 보혜사가 요한복음 16장에 나오는 '진리의 성령'입니다.

이 '진리의 성령'은 사람 안에 들어가 하나되어 역사를 합니다.






Bible study, Religion is a teaching

Religion is a teaching of heaven, and the one who teaches is,

first and foremost, the spirit.

The pastor who received the teaching

from the spirit and has been clothed by the spirit

is a true pastor who can do the work of God(John 3:31-34).

종교는 신의 가르침으로 가르치는 이는 먼저 성령입니다.

이 성령의 가르침을 받은 목자가 참 목자입니다.


Jesus said, “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, 

whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things 

and will remind you of everything I have said to you”(John 14:26)

John the Baptist came in the name of Elijah (Lk 1:17),

Jesus came in the name of God the Father (Jn 5:43),

The Counselor of the New Testament comes in Jesus’ name just as he (Jesus) promised.  

The Counselor takes from what is of Jesus and teaches it to the congregation members,

and it is written in Jn 16:14-15 that what belongs to Jesus belongs to the Father.

At that time, Jesus had much more to say, but he did not say it.

Instead, he handed it (the duty to say) over to the Counselor who was promised to come (John 16:12-13).

This Counselor is the Spirit of truth (Jn 15:26).

And the truth is the word of God (John 17:17).


예수님이 아버지 하나님의 이름으로 오셨듯이

예수님이 약속하신 신약의 보혜사는 예수님의 이름으로 오십니다.

이 진리의성령 보혜사는 예수님의 것을 성도들에게 가르칩니다.






Bible study, God's Advocate and Jesus's Advocate

Jesus, the Counselor at the First Coming, 

was the Advocate who spoke on behalf of God. (1Jn 2:1)

The Spirit of truth, the “another counselor” who comes in Jesus’ name,

is the Advocate who speaks on behalf of Jesus. (John 16:14-15, 14:16)

The pastor who is clothed with the Spirit of truth 

is also—together with the spirit—the Advocate 

who speaks on Jesus’ behalf. (Rv 19:10)

Thus, these two beings are the Advocate in the spirit and the Advocate in the flesh, the pastor.


초림 때의 보혜사인 예수님은 하나님의 대언자였습니다.

재림 때 예수님의 이름으로 오시는 '다른 보혜사'인 진리의 성령과 

이 진리의 성령을 입은 목자는 예수님의 대언자입니다.

이들을 가리켜 대언의 영, 대언의 목자라고도 부릅니다.







Bible study, Sin, Righteousness, and Judgment

Jesus told in advance the things the Counselor will speak of when he comes.

“When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt

  in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:

  in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me;

  in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father,

  where you will see me no longer; in regard to judgment,

  because the prince of this world now stands condemned” (Jn 16:8-11).

What are the sin, righteousness, and judgment that the Counselor, 

the Spirit of truth, whom Jesus promised to send, testifies?
