1 John 5:16-18
New Testament for Everyone
16 If anyone sees a brother or sister committing a sin which is not deadly, they should ask, and God will give life to the people who are sinning in a way which is not deadly. There is such a thing as deadly sin; I do not say that one should pray about that. 17 All sin is unrighteousness, and there is a sin which is not deadly.
18 We know that everyone fathered by God does not go on sinning. The one who was fathered by God keeps them, and the evil one does not touch them.
