If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his Son.

If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
