 15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
Si diligitis me, mandata mea servate :

 16 And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever.
et ego rogabo Patrem, et alium Paraclitum dabit vobis, ut maneat vobiscum in aeternum,

 17 The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him: but you shall know him; because he shall abide with you, and shall be in you.
Spiritum veritatis, quem mundus non potest accipere, quia non videt eum, nec scit eum : vos autem cognoscetis eum, quia apud vos manebit, et in vobis erit.

 18 I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you.
Non relinquam vos orphanos : veniam ad vos.

 19 Yet a little while: and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall live.
Adhuc modicum, et mundus me jam non videt. Vos autem videtis me : quia ego vivo, et vos vivetis.

 20 In that day you shall know, that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
In illo die vos cognoscetis quia ego sum in Patre meo, et vos in me, et ego in vobis.

 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Qui habet mandata mea, et servat ea : ille est qui diligit me. Qui autem diligit me, diligetur a Patre meo : et ego diligam eum, et manifestabo ei meipsum.

[16] "Paraclete": That is, a comforter: or also an advocate; inasmuch as by inspiring prayer, he prays, as it were, in us, and pleads for us.

[16] "For ever": Hence it is evident that this Spirit of Truth was not only promised to the persons of the apostles, but also to their successors through all generations.
