14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
14 And G2532 this G3778 is G2076 the confidence G3954 that G3739 we have G2192 in G4314 him, G846 that, G3754 if G1437 we ask G154 any thing G5100 according G2596 to his G846 will, G2307 he heareth G191 us: G2257
14 And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:
14 And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us,
14 And this is the boldness which we have towards him, that if we ask him anything according to his will he hears us.
14 This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
14 And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us:
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those 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 consume it upon your lusts.
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
For 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 made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the 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, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which 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
In those words we may observe,
1Jo 5:14-17
Here we have,
1Jo 5:18-21
Here we have,
