OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 16:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐκεῖνος

that_‹one›

Here, that one refers to the Holy Spirit, who is called “the Helper” in the previous verse. If this use of that one might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “the Holy Spirit”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

κόσμον

world

See how you translated world in 1:29.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

περὶ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ περὶ δικαιοσύνης, καὶ περὶ κρίσεως

concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of sin, righteousness, and judgment, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: “about what is sinful and about what is righteous and about the fact that God will judge them”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

περὶ δικαιοσύνης

concerning concerning righteousness

Here, righteousness could refer to: (1) God’s righteousness, which the world does not have. Alternate translation: “about the righteousness that the world lacks” (2) the false righteousness in the world, such as the actions of the Pharisees, which people thought were righteous. Alternate translation: “about the world’s false righteousness”
