1 John 5:14-17

New Century Version

¹⁴ And this is the boldness we have in God’s presence: that if we ask God for anything that agrees with what he wants, he hears us. ¹⁵ If we know he hears us every time we ask him, we know we have what we ask from him.

¹⁶ If anyone sees a brother or sister sinning (sin that does not lead to eternal death), that person should pray, and God will give the sinner life. I am talking about people whose sin does not lead to eternal death. There is sin that leads to death. I do not mean that a person should pray about that sin. ¹⁷ Doing wrong is always sin, but there is sin that does not lead to eternal death.
