1 John 5:16-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin that does not bring death, he should ask, and God[a] will give life to him—to those who commit sin that doesn’t bring death. There is sin[b] that brings death. I am not saying he should pray about that. 17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin that does not bring death.
Conclusion
18 We know that everyone who has been born of God does not sin, but the One[c] who is born of God keeps him,[d][e](A) and the evil one does not touch him.

New International Version
16 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life.(A) I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death.(B) I am not saying that you should pray about that.(C) 17 All wrongdoing is sin,(D) and there is sin that does not lead to death.(E)
18 We know that anyone born of God(F) does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one(G) cannot harm them.(H)
