1 John 5:16      1 John 5:18

First letter of John 5:17

All unrighteousness [transgression of God's commandments] is sin,
but there is sin that does not lead to (involve, result in) death.
[What is a sin that leads to death? In the 400s, the "seven deadly sins" were formulated: pride, envy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. Although these sins are conscious and serious, there is forgiveness for each of them. A "sin unto death" could be a sin that extinguishes human life, but there are examples of murderers who have been forgiven. Nathan was sent to confront and pray for David, see 2 Sam. 11. There are also examples of sins that lead to the sinner's own death. Ananias and Sapphira died suddenly when they lied, see Acts 5:1–11; 1 Cor 5:5; 1 Cor 11:30. John often uses sharp contrasts in this letter. He speaks of life and death. In that case, he may be referring to the false prophets who left the church, but completely abandoned the faith and were spiritually dead, see Matt. 12:31–32; Mark 3:28–29. Regardless of what "sin unto death" exactly refers to, the general exhortation is to pray for those who have gone astray. This is what James exhorts, see James 5:19–20. Jesus prayed for Peter on the night he denied him, see Luke 22:32.]
