1 John 5:14-21 ▼

14 And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if we may ask anything according to His will, He hears us,

15 and if we have known that He hears us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him.

16 If anyone may see his brother sinning a sin [that is] not to death, he will ask, and He will give life to him—to those not sinning to death; there is sin to death—I do not say that he may ask concerning it;

17 all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin [that is] not to death.

18 We have known that everyone who has been begotten of God does not sin, but He who was begotten of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him;

19 we have known that we are of God, and the whole world lies [under the power] of the evil [one];

20 but we have known that the Son of God has come, and has given us a mind that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this One is the true God and the continuous Life!

21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols! Amen.
