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 Question: I would like an interpretation to the verse (and I'm not sure where in the Gospels it is???) that if you have wronged another person, then you must go to that person and confess your sins. |
Bible Answer: Greetings KBCE! I think you may be looking for the following passage from the Sermon on the Mount: Mat 5:21 "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder,[1] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' Mat 5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother[2]will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,[3]' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. Mat 5:23 "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, Mat 5:24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. Mat 5:25 "Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. Mat 5:26 I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.[4] Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
