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. |

Bible Note: Greetings Lionstrong! I think you are straining at gnats! :-) But, to satisfy you: My definition of propitiation is that it is a term which refers to the appeasement of God's wrath on the cross, accomplished once and for all by Christ on our behalf, and extending to the sins of every man, woman, and child who has ever lived, currently lives, or ever will live. This is a definition is based upon the eight verse where the word group is actually used in the New Testament. Now, how about answering my question? Which part of my definition violates the text of any of these eight verses? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
