And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.

and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing to him.

And this is the confidence that we have before him: that whenever we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

If anyone sees his fellow Christian committing a sin not resulting in death, he should ask, and God will grant life to the person who commits a sin not resulting in death. There is a sin resulting in death. I do not say that he should ask about that.
