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: GeorgJoy - No need to coin "explainist" really. Just use "explainer" which is already coined and means the same thing! Or use "expositor." ..... If you are unhappy with the word "apologist" you might test drive words like defender, vindicator, advocate, and supporter. ..... Even though "apology" and its forms are perfectly good words to use in connection with theological matters, they certainly do have, as you say, other and very different meanings. Language is like that. The English words "flammable" and "inflammable" mean exactly the same thing. And if one said the Psalms are simply awful, would he be giving them a thumbs up or thumbs down? --Hank |
