14 And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God; and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend `it' in your pleasures.
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will show thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not.
`The righteous' cried, and Jehovah heard, And delivered them out of all their troubles.
We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.
For Jehovah heareth the needy, And despiseth not his prisoners.
As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications When I cried unto thee.
for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:
but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Commentary on 1 John 5 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 5
In this chapter the apostle asserts,
1Jo 5:1-5
1Jo 5:6-9
The faith of the Christian believer (or the believer in Christ) being thus mighty and victorious, it had need to be well founded, to be furnished with unquestionable celestial evidence concerning the divine mission, authority, and office of the Lord Jesus; and it is so; he brings his credentials along with him, and he brings them in a way by which he came and in the witness that attends him.
1Jo 5:10-13

Here we have,
1Jo 5:18-21
