1 John 5:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
18 [d]We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

- 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.
- 1 John 5:18 A reason why not all, nay rather why no sin is mortal to some: to wit, because they be born of God, that is to say, made the sons of God in Christ, and being endued with his Spirit, they do not serve sin, neither are deadly wounded of Satan.
