“And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:”
And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment — the Spirit's work is judicial (elegchō—convict, convince, prove wrong). The Spirit convicts the world concerning three fundamental realities that the world misunderstands: sin, righteousness, and judgment. The Spirit operates like a lawyer at trial, exposing the world's false understanding of these categories and establishing the true nature of each.
