New American Standard Bible 1995
1 John 5:14-21
14This is 1the confidence which we have 2before Him, that, 3if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, 4we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.
16If anyone sees his brother 5committing a sin not leading to death, 6he shall ask and 7God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. 8There is a sin leading to death; 9I do not say that he should make request for this. 1710All unrighteousness is sin, and 11there is a sin not leading to death.
1812We know that 13no one who is 14born of God sins; but He who was 15born of God 16keeps him, and 17the evil one does not 18touch him. 1919We know that 20we are of God, and that 21the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20And 22we know that 23the Son of God has come, and has 24given us understanding so that we may know 25Him who is true; and we 26are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. 27This is the true God and 28eternal life.
