||

\s5

\v 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For the testimony of God is this, that he has borne witness concerning his Son.
|
||
|
|
\v 10 He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed the witness that God has borne concerning his Son.

\v 16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not to death, he must pray; and God will give him life—to those who do not commit sins resulting in death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that.
|
||
