Sin unto Death

Tyndale

1 of 1

Tyndale Open Bible Dictionary · 2023

Sin mentioned in 1 John 5:16; in this verse John discourages prayer for those who sin in this way. Most likely, John was speaking of those who decisively turn their backs upon the truth, as well as those false teachers who deceive the church (Heb 6:4-6; 2 Jn 1:7-9).

See also Blasphemy; Sin.
