You could ask me, you know. :o) In some versions, the "he" is capitalized. For example, the NASB http://biblehub.com/context/john/16-7.htm:

But 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. 8“And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 9concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. 12“I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14“He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15“All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

Are you also a member of the United Church of Christ?

I didn't think you were speaking to me any longer. :)

And no, I'm not affiliated with that denomination. Are you?

The New American Standard Bible (NASB), also known as the New American Standard Version, is an English translation of the Bible. The New Testament was first published in 1963. The complete Bible was published in 1971.[1] The most recent edition of the NASB text was published in 1995. Copyright and trademark to the NASB text are owned by the Lockman Foundation.[2]

The Lockman Foundation was started in 1942 by F. Dewey Lockman (St. Jacob, Illinois 1898-1974) and his wife Minna Lockman. It is a nonprofit, interdenominational Christian ministry dedicated to the translation, publication, and distribution of the New American Standard Bible (NASB), Amplified Bible, and other Biblical resources. The Foundation was founded on December 3, 1942 with the donation by the Lockmans of a substantial part of their citrus acres in La Habra, California. The Lockmans and the original Board of Directors set forth a doctrinal statement which the Foundation strictly follows to this day. Following Dewey Lockman's death, Dr. Samuel H. Sutherland (1900-1994), President Emeritus of Biola University, became President of The Lockman Foundation, and the Foundation continued its work in foreign language translations. Based on the same principles of literal translation, work was begun on the Korean Standard Bible, the New Chinese Version (NCV), the New Hindi Bible (India), and La Biblia de las Américas (Spanish). After leading the Foundation through several projects, Dr. Sutherland retired in the spring of 1979, and Robert G. Lambeth began his current tenure as President. In the 1990s the Foundation produced the New American Standard Bible Update and a Spanish version Nueva Biblia Latinoamericana de Hoy.

So back to the original question: Why wasn't the pronoun "he" capitalized in the first version you posted?
