NASB | 1 John 5:16 ¶ If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 5:16 ¶ If anyone sees his brother committing a sin that does not lead to death, he will pray and ask [on the believer's behalf] and God will for him give life to those whose sin is not leading to death. There is a sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for this [kind of sin]. |
Bible Question: What are sins leading to death, and what are sins not leading to death. I understand 'death' as meaning not to have eternal life. |
Bible Answer: scullards Most theologians and commentators believe John is talking about normal sin which can be forgiven and blaspheming the Holy Spirit which Jesus said there could be no forgiveness from. I imagine your next question will be what is blaspheming the Holy Spirit? It is basically the rejection of Jesus Christ by attributing His power in Holy Spirit to something other than the Holy Spirit. In effect your rejecting Christ which is the only way to salvation. John 3:16 says we must believe to receive eternal life, therefore a rejection of Jesus’ deity leads unto death. EdB |
