1 John 5:14-17
New American Standard Bible
14 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 or sister [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 sin leading to death; (F)I am not saying that he should ask about that. 17 (G)All unrighteousness is sin, and (H)there is sin not leading to death.

1 John 5:14-17
Revised Standard Version
14 And this is the confidence which we have in him, that 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 obtained the requests made of him. 16 If any one sees his brother committing what is not a mortal sin, he will ask, and God[a] will give him life for those whose sin is not mortal. There is sin which is mortal; I do not say that one is to pray for that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin which is not mortal.
