5:14	And this is the confidence which we have toward God: that no matter what we shall request, in accord with his will, he hears us.
5:15	And we know that he hears us, no matter what we request; so we know that we can obtain the things that we request of him.
5:16	Anyone who realizes that his brother has sinned, with a sin that is not unto death, let him pray, and life shall be given to him who has sinned not unto death. There is a sin which is unto death. I am not saying that anyone should ask on behalf of that sin.
5:17	All that is iniquity is sin. But there is a sin unto death.
5:18	We know that everyone who is born of God does not sin. Instead, rebirth in God preserves him, and the evil one cannot touch him.
5:19	We know that we are of God, and that the entire world is established in wickedness.
5:20	And we know that the Son of God has arrived, and that he has given us understanding, so that we may know the true God, and so that we may remain in his true Son. This is the true God, and this is Eternal Life.
5:21	Little sons, keep yourselves from false worship. Amen.

2:1	And on the third day, a wedding was held in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2:2	Now Jesus was also invited to the wedding, with his disciples.
2:3	And when the wine was failing, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
2:4	And Jesus said to her: “What is that to me and to you, woman? My hour has not yet arrived.”
2:5	His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
2:6	Now in that place, there were six stone water jars, for the purification ritual of the Jews, containing two or three measures each.
2:7	Jesus said to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” And they filled them to the very top.
2:8	And Jesus said to them, “Now draw from it, and carry it to the chief steward of the feast.” And they took it to him.
2:9	Then, when the chief steward had tasted the water made into wine, since he did not know where it was from, for only the servants who had drawn the water knew, the chief steward called the groom,
2:10	and he said to him: “Every man offers the good wine first, and then, when they have become inebriated, he offers what is worse. But you have kept the good wine until now.”
2:11	This was the beginning of the signs that Jesus accomplished in Cana of Galilee, and it manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
