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 John! I'm sure we would make good neighbors, and one day we shall in heaven! Concerning the verses you cite, my only problem is with the assumption that "dead in sin" means unable to respond. That simply isn't what the verses say, and I cited numerous verses which say that people did seek God and/or respond to God. This is one point we definitely differ on! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
