"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 can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned."
in regard to sin
John 15:22 "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin."
in regard to righteousness
Acts 3:14 "You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you."
Acts 7:52 "Was there ever a prophet your fathers did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him-- ..."
Romans 1:17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
Romans 3:21-22a But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.
1 Peter 3:18a For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.
because I am going to the Father
John 16:5 "Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'"
because the prince of this world now stands condemned
John 12:31 "Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out."
