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: The 'Kosmos' in 1 John |
Bible Note: Amen, and again I say Amen!! I would back you up on this last statement all the way. That most important one that will back us up is the Lord Himself, with promis after promis. There are a lot of, so called believer that don't know what it means to believe and trust in Christ. When the word believe is used in the Bible, the Amplified version hits the nail right on the head. It says in ref. to believing in Christ that one must (trust in, cling to and relie on Jesus), and brother that mean 100 persent or nothing at all! We can't add a little bit of anything we do, because if we do, then is not trusting in Him!!! CDBJ |
