13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life,¹ and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.  ‡

14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that ^aif we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.  ‡

16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and ^aHe will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. ^bThere is sin leading to death. ^cI do not say that he should pray about that.  ‡

17 ^aAll unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.  ‡
