1 John 5:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 And if we know that he heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions, that we have desired of him.
16 [a]If any man see his brother sin a sin that is not unto death, let him [b]ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. (A)There is a sin unto death, I say not that thou shouldest pray for it.
17 [c]All unrighteousness is sin, but there is a sin not unto death.

- 1 John 5:16 We have to make prayers not only for ourselves, but also for our brethren which do sin, that their sins be not unto them, to death: and yet he excepteth that sin, which is never forgiven, or the sin against the holy Ghost, that is to say, an universal and willful falling away from the known truth of the Gospel.
- 1 John 5:16 This is as much as if he said, Let him desire the Lord to forgive him, and he will forgive him being so desired.
- 1 John 5:17 The taking away of an objection: Indeed all iniquity is comprehended under the name of sin, but yet we must not despair therefore, because every sin is not deadly, and without hope of remedy.
