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: Tim: RE: John 8 Reformed teaching goes further than saying "only the elect will respond in faith." We hold that individuals can only die in THEIR sins because they are not atoned for. It is that same situation of "Who pays the just penalty of the sins of the damned?" Arminians seem to say that it is BOTH Christ and the sinner. --Joe! |
