1 John 5:16 BBE

¹⁴  And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us:

¹⁵  And if we are certain that he gives ear to all our requests, we are equally certain that we will get our requests.

¹⁶  If a man sees his brother doing a sin which is not bad enough for death, let him make a prayer to God, and God will give life to him whose sin was not bad enough for death. There is a sin whose punishment is death: I do not say that he may make such a request then.

¹⁷  All evil-doing is sin: but death is not the punishment for every sort of sin.

¹⁸  We are certain that one who is a child of God will do no sin, but the Son of God keeps him so that he is not touched by the Evil One.
