 Comforter
    the designation of the Holy Ghost (John 14:16, 26; 15:26; 16:7;
    R.V. marg., "or Advocate, or Helper; Gr. paracletos"). The same
    Greek word thus rendered is translated "Advocate" in 1 John 2:1
    as applicable to Christ. It means properly "one who is summoned
    to the side of another" to help him in a court of justice by
    defending him, "one who is summoned to plead a cause."
    "Advocate" is the proper rendering of the word in every case
    where it occurs.
      It is worthy of notice that although Paul nowhere uses the
    word paracletos, he yet presents the idea it embodies when he
    speaks of the "intercession" both of Christ and the Spirit (Rom.
    8:27, 34).
