ALLOS PARAKLETOS

ALLOS: from Greek allos other, different.

PARAKLETOS:

The word parakletos is a verbal adjective, often used of one called to help in a lawcourt.

In the Jewish tradition the word was transcribed with Hebrew letters and used for angels, prophets, and the just as advocates before God's court. The word also acquired the meaning of 'one who consoles'

Why is the Holy Spirit called the parakletos?

The Holy Spirit—because He is, after all, Christ's Spirit—is also a paraclete, a helper. Literally, the Greek word paraklētos means “someone who is called to come alongside someone else.” In Greek culture, a paraclete was like a family attorney.
