1 John 5:16 in Context — 1 John 5
14 Nous avons auprès de lui cette assurance, que si nous demandons quelque chose selon sa volonté, il nous écoute.
15 Et si nous savons qu’il nous écoute, quelque chose que nous demandions, nous savons que nous possédons la chose que nous lui avons demandée.
16 Si quelqu’un voit son frère commettre un péché qui ne mène point à la mort, qu’il prie, et Dieu donnera la vie à ce frère, il la donnera à ceux qui commettent un péché qui ne mène point à la mort. Il y a un péché qui mène à la mort; ce n’est pas pour ce péché-là que je dis de prier.
17 Toute iniquité est un péché, et il y a tel péché qui ne mène pas à la mort.
18 Nous savons que quiconque est né de Dieu ne pèche point; mais celui qui est né de Dieu se garde lui-même, et le malin ne le touche pas.
