13

I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life.

14

And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us:

15

And if we are certain that he gives ear to all our requests, we are equally certain that we will get our requests.

16

If a man sees his brother doing a sin which is not bad enough for death, let him make a prayer to God, and God will give life to him whose sin was not bad enough for death. There is a sin whose punishment is death: I do not say that he may make such a request then.

17

All evil-doing is sin: but death is not the punishment for every sort of sin.

18

We are certain that one who is a child of God will do no sin, but the Son of God keeps him so that he is not touched by the Evil One.

19

We are certain that we are of God, but all the world is in the power of the Evil One.

20

And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

21

My little children, keep yourselves from false gods.
