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: Makarios: Amen to your post. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: (1 Peter3:18) This sacrifice was once and for all. He satisfied the claims of a Holy God against sin. The sin question as far as God is concerned has been dealt with at Calvary. His atonement for sin is offered to the whole world. All who are unsaved of part of the world before we were saved, and thank God for his unconditional love and grace which provides for all a way to be forgiven of their sins and at peace with God forever. When Christ died upon Calvary's cross, my sins were all future and it was all my sins that be bore in his own body on the tree. The reaction of sinners to the atoning work of Christ does not diminish in anyway way the work which he has accomplished. Such love surpassing human thought That thou blest Lamb of God Should bear sin's curse And interpose, thine own most precious blood. |
