1 John 5:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Effective Prayer

¹⁴ Now this is the confidence we have before Him: Whenever we ask^(A) anything according to His will, He hears us.^{(B) 15} And if we know that He hears whatever we ask,^(C) we know that we have what we have asked Him for.^(D)

¹⁶ If anyone sees his brother committing a sin that does not bring death, he should ask, and God^[a] will give life to him—to those who commit sin that doesn’t bring death. There is sin^[b] that brings death. I am not saying he should pray about that.
