14. We can come to God with no doubts. This means that when we ask God for things (and those things agree with what God wants for us), God cares about what we say.
15. He listens to us every time we ask him. So we know that he gives us whatever we ask from him.
16. Suppose you see your fellow believer sinning (sin that does not lead to eternal death). You should pray for them. Then God will give them life. I am talking about people whose sin does not lead to eternal death. There is sin that leads to death. I don’t mean that you should pray about that kind of sin.
17. Doing wrong is always sin. But there is sin that does not lead to eternal death.
18. We know that those who have been made God’s children do not continue to sin. The Son of God keeps them safe. The Evil One cannot hurt them.
19. We know that we belong to God, but the Evil One controls the whole world.
20. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding. So now we can know the one who is true, and we live in that true God. We are in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God, and he is eternal life.
