Verse 16 says that if any man see his brother (That is, a Christian), sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death.
You see, it's God's will that if I see a brother or sister involved in a sin that is not unto death, (And that's the rejection of Christ), I can pray for every born again believer, and God's life will minister to them, because God will not allow His people to live in habitual sin. And I can pray according to His will. But then he goes on to say that there is a sin unto death: And I do not say that he shall pray for it.
Verse 17 says that all unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. So, all unrighteousness is sin. That's the non-believer. And there is a sin that's not unto death.
All the sins that Christians commit are not unto death. The only sin in the bible that is unto death is in Matthew 12:31-32. Jesus said wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
The Holy Spirit is here to convict people of their need of Christ. If you reject His testimony, you have committed the unpardonable sin. So what John is saying is that I can't pray for someone who is rejecting Christ. I can't pray for them to get saved because that's between them and God. I just pray for His will to be done.
