Bible Question (short): sin unto death |
Question (full): The small group Bible study I am involved in, is about to discuss the following two verses. I would appreciate the various opinions concerning the questions I will ask concerning these two verses, from as many of you as possible. I did a community search on this but did not see all these questions answered, which I believe are necessary in order to get a correct understanding of what is meant by these verses. 1 John 5:16-17 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. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. My questions concerning these two verses are as follows 1) Who is the intended audience of 1 John? 2) Is the death mentioned in these two verses physical or spiritual? 3) Is the word "brother" in verse 16 refer to a believing brother - yes or no? 4) what is this "sin unto death" refer to? 5) Is the article "a" before the word "sin" found in the Greek? Love and peace to you |
