1 John 5:14-17
English Standard Version
14 And this is (A)the confidence that we have toward him, that (B)if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and (C)God[a] will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. (D)There is sin that leads to death; (E)I do not say that one should pray for that. 17 (F)All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.

Effective Prayer
14 This is the confidence we have before him: If we ask(A) anything according to his will, he hears us.(B) 15 And if we know that he hears whatever we ask,(C) we know that we have what we have asked of him.(D)
16 If anyone sees a fellow believer[a] committing a sin that doesn’t lead to death, he should ask, and God will give life to him—to those who commit sin that doesn’t lead to death. There is sin[b] that leads to death. I am not saying he should pray about that. 17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin that doesn’t lead to death.
