There is no adequate translation for the word Paraclete. It may be rendered “interpreter,” “comforter,” “advocate,” but no one word suffices. The Greek means “one whom you call to your side in the battle or law-court.” His advent depends upon the praying Christ (ZI will pray the Father), and upon the praying Church (ye shall ask). The Holy Spirit must be a person, or he could not be compared as “another” to Christ. It is characteristic of this dispensation that he shall be im us, and his indwelling brings with it that of the Father and the Son.
