1 John 5:14-16

14 This is ¹the confidence which we have before Him, that, ²if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever * we ask, ³we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, ⁴he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. ⁵There is a sin leading to death; ⁶I do not say that he should make request for this.
