1 John 5:14-17

14Also, we can trust God to help us when we turn to him. We know that he will hear us. When we ask for anything that he wants us to have, he listens to us.

15Since we know that, we also know that God will give to us the things that we ask for. It is like we have already received those things from him.

16If you see that another Christian is doing something bad, this is what you should do. If it is a sin that does not cause death, pray that God will help him. Then God will help that person to live for ever with him. That is for a sin which does not cause death. But there is a sin that causes death. If another Christian does that, I am not saying that you should pray for God to help that person.

17Any wrong thing that a person does is sin. But not all sins cause death.
