1 John 5:13-21 - Our Assurance Of Eternal Life

¹³ I have written this so that you who believe in the Son of God may know that you have eternal life.

¹⁴ And we have confidence in him, that if we ask him for anything that is in accordance with his will, he will listen to us. ¹⁵ And if we know that he listens to whatever we ask him for, we know that the requests we have made of him are granted.

¹⁶ If anyone sees his brother committing any sin except a deadly one, he will ask and obtain life for him??rovided the sin is not a deadly one. There is such a thing as deadly sin; I do not say that a man should pray about that. ¹⁷ Any wrongdoing is sin, but there are sins that are not deadly.

¹⁸ We know that no child of God commits sin, but the fact that he is God's child protects him, and the evil one cannot touch him.

¹⁹ We know that we are children of God, while the whole world is under the power of the evil one.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us power to recognize him who is true; and we are in union with him who is true, through his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

²¹ Dear children, keep away from idols.
