NASB | 1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God's requirement for justice against sin and placating His wrath]. |
Subject: disciple that Jesus loved |
Bible Note: This writer agrees. John does not quite say, "I am that disciple, which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things". But that is as close as he gets. Nor does he say that his name is John. It is a question that has always intrigued me, why many of the writers of scripture fail to identify themselves. Is there any internal evidence that John wrote the Gospel of John? I hope you do not think I am being facetious here. If you have such evidence, I would like to learn of it. Paul says that he always identifies himself (2 Thessalonians 3:17) and John certainly identifies himself as the writer of the book of Revelation. Rev 1:4 "John to the seven churches". Rev 1:9 "I John, who also am your brother, ..., was in the isle that is called Patmos ...". Rev 22:8 "I John saw these things, and heard them". Why do you suppose he declines to identify himsel as John in the book called The Gospel of John? It seems to me that John 21:24 says it is the writer of the book who is known as "the disciple whom Jesus loved". It still does not say clearly that it was John. I hope you understand what I say here. We think it was John, but reading John 21:24 does not absolve us of culpability, if we are accused of intelligent guessing. |
