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
