whatsoever we ask, we know that we receive the petitions, which we have
requested, from him.

(16)If any person see his brother committing a sin not unto death, he
shall request, and God will grant him life for those that sin not unto
death. There is a sin unto death: I say not that he should request for
that. (17)All unrighteousness is sin; and there is sin not unto death.

(18)We know that every one who is born of God sinneth not; but he that
is born of God preserveth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not.
(19)We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the power

are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. HE is the true
God, and the life eternal.

(21)My dear children, guard yourselves against idols. Amen.

deceiver and an antichrist.

(8)Take heed to yourselves that we lose not the things which we have
wrought, but receive a full reward. (9)Every one that transgresseth and
abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in
the doctrine of Christ, this man holdeth both the Father and the Son.
(10)If any person come unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive
him not into the house, nor say to him, Welcome. (11)He that biddeth
him welcome, takes part in his wicked works.

(12)Having many things to write unto you, I would not do it with paper
