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.

1 John 5:14-17
New Living Translation
14 And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. 15 And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.
16 If you see a fellow believer[a] sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it. 17 All wicked actions are sin, but not every sin leads to death.
