1 John 5:14-16
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
And This We Know With Confidence:
14 And this is the confidence which we have before Him:
That God Hears Our Prayers
... that if we request anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us— whatever we request— we know that we have the requests which we have requested from Him.
But I Am Not Implying You Should Pray About a Sin Leading To Death
16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall request, and He will give him life— for the ones sinning a sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death[a]. I am not saying that he should pray about that.

- 1 John 5:16 If John means physical death, any sin leading to this level of discipline from God could be in view, as in Act 5:5; 1 Cor 11:30. If John means spiritual, eternal death, some think he means the knowing and deliberate rejection of Christ, as in 2:19, 22, and Heb 6:4-6; 10:26-29.
