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]. |
Bible Question (short): Propitiation vs Expiation |
Question (full): Why do evangelical bible translations (NASB, ESV, HCSB et al) always prefer 'propitiation' over 'expiation' which is invariably found in the liberal / Catholic / mainline Protestant bibles (RSV, NJB, NAB, NRSV). I can't find much difference in the meanings between the two words in dictionaries. Robin |
