1John 5:16

Can someone explain the meaning of this scripture and which bible version is the most accurate? Thanks.


1Jo 5:16 If anyone sees his brother sin a sin not to death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for those that do not sin to death. There is a sin to death, I do not say that he shall pray for it.
1Jo 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not to death. (MKJV)

1Jo 5:16 Suppose you see one of our people commit a sin that isn't a deadly sin. You can pray, and that person will be given eternal life. But the sin must not be one that is deadly.
1Jo 5:17 Everything that is wrong is sin, but not all sins are deadly. (CEV)


1Jo 5:16 If any man see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: not concerning this do I say that he should make request.
1Jo 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. (ASV)
