1 John 5:14–21

¹⁴And this is ^athe confidence which we have ¹before Him, that, ^bif we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

¹⁵And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, ^awe know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

¹⁶If anyone sees his brother ¹committing a sin not leading to death, ^ahe shall ask and ²God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. ^bThere is a sin leading to death; ^cI do not say that he should make request for this.

^17aAll unrighteousness is sin, and ^bthere is a sin not leading to death.

^18aWe know that ^bno one who has been ¹born of God sins; but He who was ²begotten of God ^ckeeps him, and ^dthe evil one does not ^etouch him.

^19aWe know that ^bwe are of God, and that ^cthe whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

²⁰And ^awe know that ^bthe Son of God has come, and has ^cgiven us understanding so that we may know ^dHim who is true; and we ^eare in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. ^fThis is the true God and ^geternal life.

^21aLittle children, guard yourselves from ^bidols.
