1 John 5:18 in Context — 1 John 5

16 Si alguno viere cometer á su hermano pecado no de muerte, demandará, y se le dará vida; [digo] á los que pecan no de muerte. Hay pecado de muerte, por el cual yo no digo que ruegue.

17 Toda maldad es pecado; mas hay pecado no de muerte.

18 Sabemos que cualquiera que es nacido de Dios, no peca; mas el que es engendrado de Dios, se guarda á sí mismo, y el maligno no le toca.

19 Sabemos que somos de Dios, y todo el mundo está puesto en maldad.

20 Empero sabemos que el Hijo de Dios es venido, y nos ha dado entendimiento para conocer al que es verdadero: y estamos en el verdadero, en su Hijo Jesucristo. Este es el verdadero Dios, y la vida eterna.
