Nota de estudio

Study Note

The identification of Christ as 'the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world' raises the scope question that has divided Calvinist (limited atonement) and Arminian (unlimited atonement) interpretations. The Greek hilasmos — translated as propitiation, expiation, or atoning sacrifice — evokes the Day of Atonement ritual (Leviticus 16; Hebrews 9:5) while applying it to Christ's death. The 'whole world' (holou tou kosmou) language parallels John 3:16 ('God so loved the world') and 1 Timothy 2:6 ('a ransom for all'), and is taken by most non-Calvinist interpreters as evidence of an unlimited atonement in scope, whatever its application. The verse belongs to the Johannine tradition of Christ as universal light, universal shepherd, and universal savior, consistently pushing against ethnic and sectarian limitation.
