1 John 5:16 in Context — 1 John 5

14 E esta é a confiança que diante dele: que se pedirmos alguma coisa conforme a sua vontade, ele nos ouve.

15 E se sabemos que nos ouve em tudo o que pedimos, sabemos que alcançamos as coisas que lhe pedimos.

16 Se alguém vê o seu irmão cometer um pecado que não é para a morte, orará, e lhe dará vida, para os que não pecarem para a morte. Há pecado para a morte, pelo qual não digo que ore.

17 Toda injustiça é pecado; e há pecado que não é para a morte.

18 Sabemos que todo aquele que é nascido de Deus não pratica o pecado; mas o que é gerado de Deus guarda a si mesmo, e o maligno não o toca.
