The Work of the Holy Spirit
Joh 16:4 But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you. “I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
Joh 16:5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
Joh 16:6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
Joh 16:7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
Joh 16:8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:
Joh 16:9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;
Joh 16:10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer;
Joh 16:11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
Joh 16:12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
Joh 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
Joh 16:14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Joh 16:15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
And he (kai ekeinos). Emphatic demonstrative masculine pronoun.
When he is come (elthōn). Second aorist active participle of erchomai, “having come” or “coming.”
Will convict the world (elegxei ton kosmon). Future active of elegchō, old word for confuting, convicting by proof already in Joh_3:29; Joh_8:46. Jesus had been doing this (Joh_7:7), but this is pre-eminently the work of the Holy Spirit and the most needed task today for our complacent age.
In respect of sin (peri hamartias). Concerning the reality of sin as missing the mark and as wronging God and man, and not a mere slip or animal instinct or devoid of moral responsibility or evil. Some scientists and psychologists (Freudians and behaviourists) seem bent on destroying man’s sense of sin. Hence crime waves even in youth.
And of righteousness (kai peri dikaiosunēs). The opposite of “sin” and to be yearned for after conviction. Cf. Rom 1:19-3:21 about the necessity of the God-kind of righteousness and the Sermon on the Mount for Christ’s idea of righteousness.
And of judgment (kai peri kriseōs). As certain to come as condemnation because of sin and the lack of righteousness. These are not played out motives in human life, but basal. For this ministry we have the help of the Paraclete. The Paraclete is here spoken of “not as man’s advocate with God (1Jn_2:1), but as Christ’s advocate with the world” (Bernard).

You are in error friend, we need the Holy Spirit in ALL SPHERES of our lives, including the conviction of daily confessions of our misdeeds, dia/via the Holy Spirit.

I choose to seek after aleithia, for these are perilous times we live in, and false doctrines abounds.
I don't claim to "know it all" but what I do know, I'll gladly share with those seeking the truth only to be found in Scriptures and grow therein and in Christ Jesus.
See the morphology on "I died" and "I die daily"...in context.
God bless
