Why is the word para/klhtov shown as Noun Masculine in John 14:16? It doesn't make sense when it's the opposite everywhere else. Thanks for your help?

Hey Rob,
I really don't know, but in YahshaYahu /Isaiah 46:9-10 we are told by God Himself to: remember the former things of old, that He, declares the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done; which means the past will show the future.

For all things Greek you might find it useful to visit Swalchy's site here. You might also want to bear in mind that there are so many tens of thousands of discrepencies known to exist in all the post tanak writings that whatever you're reading is unreliable to begin with. Christians over the centuries have taken [so many] unbridled liberties in translating and copying the originals and their copies that what we have now is a jumbled collection of call-it-what-you-will.

Rob Wells,
Welcome to the forum. I don’t completely understand your question. G3875 is always a masculine noun. It is used 4 times in Yahuchanon (John) and once in 1st Yahuchanon.

If the question is why isn’t G3875 a feminine noun to match Ruach ha Kodesh which is feminine then my answer would be that I don’t pay close attention to the Greek masculine, feminine, neuter because the Greek text is a translation of the original Hebrew. But I sure pay close attention to masculine vs. feminine in Hebrew in the Torah and Tanak because I can learn a whole lot from that.

Joh 14:16 “And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another Helper (G3875), to stay with you forever –

G3875

The parakletos is in reference to the Set-apart Spirit (Ruach ha Kodesh)

Joh 14:26 “But the Helper (G3875), the Set-apart Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall teach you all, and remind you of all that I said to you.
