What does the Bible say about sin not unto death?

Answered in 1 source

1 John 5:16-17 teaches that while all unrighteousness is sin, there exists a 'sin not unto death' which can be prayed for, showing God's grace.

In 1 John 5:16-17, the Apostle John distinguishes between sins that lead to death and those that do not. He emphasizes that while all unrighteousness is indeed sin, not every sin results in spiritual death. The 'sin not unto death' represents iniquities that, though they harm the believer’s walk, do not sever their relationship with God permanently. Believers are encouraged to pray for one another, especially if they fall into such sins, trusting in God's grace to restore them to fellowship and joy in the Lord.
