1 John 5:15-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
15 And if we know that He hears whatever we ask,(A) we know that we have what we have asked Him for.(B)
16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin that does not bring death, he should ask, and God[a] will give life to him—to those who commit sin that doesn’t bring death. There is sin[b] that brings death. I am not saying he should pray about that. 17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin that does not bring death.
