16 “As for you, ^fdo not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with me, for I will not hear you.

26 For ^dif we go on sinning deliberately ^eafter receiving the knowledge of the truth, ^fthere no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and ^jGod¹ will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. ^kThere is sin that leads to death; ^lI do not say that one should pray for that.
