Hi.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks for the question.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The antecedent for “he” in John 16:13 is not “Spirit”, which is neuter, but “comforter”, which is masculine.\u00a0 The apostle John used the masculine word “he” in that verse because\u00a0of that, and we followed John’s lead.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
