Assurance of Eternal Life and Warnings Against Sin

1 John 5:13-21

5
Chapter 5
13 These things I have written to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the boldness that we have toward him: that if we ask for anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we request, we know that we have the requests that we have requested from him. 16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not toward death, he will ask, and he will give him life, for those sinning not toward death. There is sin toward death; I do not say that he should ask about that one. 17 Every unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not toward death. 18 We know that everyone who has been begotten from God does not sin, but the one begotten from God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the evil one. 20 We know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we might know the true one, and we are in the true one, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
