1 John 5:16-17

16If anyone sees his brother 1committing a sin not leading to death, 2he shall ask and 3God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. 4There is a sin leading to death; 5I do not say that he should make request for this. 17 6All unrighteousness is sin, and 7there is a sin not leading to death.
