14 This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

16 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don't say that he should make a request concerning this.
