1 John 5:14-17
Legacy Standard Bible
14 And this is (A)the confidence which we have [a]before 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, (C)we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.
16 If anyone sees his brother [b]committing a sin not leading to death, (D)he shall ask and [c]God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. (E)There is a sin leading to death; (F)I do not say that he should make request for this. 17 (G)All unrighteousness is sin, and (H)there is a sin not leading 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.
