1 John 5 — Context

11

And this is the testimony which God has given to us: Eternal Life. And this Life is in his Son.

12

Whoever has the Son, has Life. Whoever does not have the Son, does not have Life.

13

I am writing this to you, so that you may know that you have Eternal Life: you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

14

And this is the confidence which we have toward God: that no matter what we shall request, in accord with his will, he hears us.

15

And we know that he hears us, no matter what we request; so we know that we can obtain the things that we request of him.

16

Anyone who realizes that his brother has sinned, with a sin that is not unto death, let him pray, and life shall be given to him who has sinned not unto death. There is a sin which is unto death. I am not saying that anyone should ask on behalf of that sin.

17

All that is iniquity is sin. But there is a sin unto death.
