NASB | 1 John 2:2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:2 And He [that same Jesus] is the propitiation for our sins [the atoning sacrifice that holds back the wrath of God that would otherwise be directed at us because of our sinful nature--our worldliness, our lifestyle]; and not for ours alone, but also for [the sins of all believers throughout] the whole world. |
Subject: How do you respond to these passages? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, I would like to see a continuation of your discussion so that you get into the idea of what happens to everyone once they realize that they are reconciled to God. In other words, going on in Romans 5:21 to obedience and eternal life; and further, to 6:22 and sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. You talked about receiving the abundance of grace in Romans 5:17. How do the grace and righteousness and reigning in life compare with verse 21 where grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life. I see two things in verse 17, grace and the gift of righteousness. I see two things in verse 15, grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man. I see two things in Romans 5:10; the death of His Son, and our being saved by His life. Have I said anything clearly enough to comment on? |
