5:14 And this is the confidence that we have before him: that 1 whenever 2 we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 5:15 And if we know 3 that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him. 5:16 If 4 anyone sees his fellow Christian 5 committing a sin not resulting in death, 6 he should ask, and God 7 will grant 8 life to the person who commits a sin not resulting in death. 9 There is a sin resulting in death. 10 I do not say that he should ask about that. 5:17 All unrighteousness 11 is sin, but there is sin not resulting in death. 12
5:18 We know that everyone fathered 13 by God does not sin, but God 14 protects 15 the one he has fathered, and the evil one cannot touch him. 5:19 We know that we are from God, 16 and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us insight to know 17 him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one 18 is the true God and eternal life. 5:21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols. 19
