13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.[a](A)

14 And this is the boldness 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 you see your brother or sister committing what is not a deadly sin, you will ask, and God[b] will give life to such a one—to those whose sin is not deadly. There is sin that is deadly; I do not say that you should pray about that.(B) 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not deadly.

He is the true God and eternal life.(E)

It is Christ[a] who died, or rather, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.(B) 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ?
