14. And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us.
15. And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him.
16. He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death: for that I say not that any man ask.
17. All iniquity is sin. And there is a sin unto death.
18. We know that whosoever is born of God, sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not.
19. We know that we are of God, and the whole world is seated in wickedness.
20. And we know that the Son of God is come: and he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal.
21. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
