All unrighteousness, is, sin, and there, is, a sin, not unto death.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

18We know that, whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing sin,—Nay, he that hath been born of God, He keepeth him, and, the wicked one, doth not touch him.
