Bible Note: Greetings Ray! Sorry, it took awhile to get back to you my friend! I've was out of town for a day or so. 1) "that the sins of us He might take away": In this phrase, there isn't actually a pronoun in the text 'for us'. The verb 'take away' is an Aorist, Active, Subjunctive, 3rd Person, Singular verb, so that is where the 'He' comes from. The phrase 'this one' is from 'ekeinos' in the previous clause. But, I did make a mistake in my translation. 'That' is the correct choice, not 'this'. 'Ekeinos' is the remote demonstrative. In a strickly literal translation, I would not combine the 'He' with the 'that one' though. They are in different clauses and the pronoun 'he' is included in the form of the verb. 2) That one: You do raise an interesting observation about 'that One' in 1 John. I did some checking. That particular pronoun is used 7 times in 1 John - interchangebly for Christ and for God. They are: 1 John 2:6, 3:3, 3:5, 3:7, 3:16, 4:17, and 5:16. With the exception of 1 John 5:16, all of the other references refer to either Christ or to God the Father. Very interesting observations my friend. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
