1 John 5:16

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he should ask God, who will give life to those who commit this kind of sin. There is a sin that leads to death; I am not saying he should ask regarding that sin.

There is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying that they should pray about this.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
