and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us.

And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

If any one see his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and he will give him life for those who sin not to death. There is a sin to death: I do not say concerning this, that he should ask.
