1 John 5:16 - Forerunner Commentary

1 John 5:16

Confidence and Compassion in Prayer

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

15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

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.

Knowing the True—Rejecting the False

18 We know that ^awhoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God ^bkeeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
