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: How do we preach the Gospel? |
Bible Note: Ed, please forgive my interjection. Perhaps I have misunderstood, but I would have to say that rather than listening to some "Apologist," and those he “apologizes to,” (their garbage will only cloud your mind,) one (through the Spirit,)should "Listen to THE word," for it is the only defense. The Word needs no “Apologist.” How can anyone “defend the Word.” The Word is OUR defense. We “so called” Christians are who need an “Apologist.” And an Apologist, we have, but we are often too STUPID to accept His defense. Rather we try defending ourselves. Did you ever hear the saying that “the one who defends himself has a fool for a client?” 2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Why Dear Lord, can our feeble, flesh ladened minds not comprehend the “simplicity” of Your word!? George |
