Greetings All. In view of the fact that NT Greek does not include the indefinite article, is it possible to translate 1 John 5:16 something like the following?: "If any one sees his brother committing sin [rather than "a sin"] not leading to death, he shall ask and He will give life to him; to those committing sin not leading to death. There is sin [rather than "a sin"] leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for that [type of sin]." My interest, of course, is in the inclusion or exclusion of the indefinite article preceding "sin." Many thanks. Ted Dr. Theodore "Ted" H.
