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: Dear Hank, I find the term "calinistic spin" offensive. It is a derogatory remark that offends a group of christian brothers and sisters of yours. By your use of that term you characterize all calvinists as spinners of Scripture, when in fact, Calvin himself, would have corrected me for not including other, clearer evidences to buttress my statement. If you want to correct me, fine. Just be a bit more sensitive to the spirit of the rule, which is the nurture of brotherhood. Smoke and mirrors? Of what good is critisism without explanation? It may serve the flesh but not the spirit. Where have I erred? John |
