1 John 5:16-18 If anyone of you observes his brother or sister sinning in a way that would not lead to spiritual death, he should ask God, in prayer, to help that person, and God will give him spiritual life, that is, to such ones, provided their sin is not leading to spiritual death. There is such a sin that leads to spiritual death. - : : - : - : ; Heb. ; I Tim. ; II Pet. See Heb.. I am not suggesting that you should ask God, in prayer about such a situation.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ If anyone [of you] observes his brother [or sister] sinning [in a way that would not lead] to [spiritual] death, he should ask [God, in prayer, to help that person], and God will give him [spiritual] life, [that is], to such ones, provided their sin is not leading to [spiritual] death. There is such a sin that leads to [spiritual] death. [See Heb. 6:4-6; I Tim. 5:6; Heb. 10:26-27; II Pet. 2:20-22]. I am not suggesting that you should ask [God, in prayer] about such a situation. ¹⁷ All wrongdoing is sinful, and [yet] there is a situation where [a person’s] sin does not lead [him] to [spiritual] death. ¹⁸ We know that every person who has been [spiritually] conceived [by God and eventually born] does not continue in [a life of] sin, but God’s one and only conceived [Son] keeps him [from continuing to sin], and the evil one [i.e., Satan] does not continue to touch him [i.e., continue to control his life].
