¹⁷ all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.

⁴ Every one who is doing the sin, the lawlessness also he doth do, and the sin is the lawlessness,

¹⁶ If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;

¹⁵ afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.

²⁶ In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, And he is dying by them, for his perversity That he hath done he dieth.

²⁷ And in the turning back of the wicked From his wickedness that he hath done, And he doth judgment and righteousness, He his soul doth keep alive.

²⁸ And he seeth and turneth back, From all his transgressions that he hath done, He doth surely live, he doth not die,
