2:2: And he is the apropitiation
for our sins: and bnot for ours only, but also for the whole world’s.
a Reconciling
us to God by pardon and intercession. b Not only for
us who are now living in the flesh, but for the whole Church. Do not say in
front of every church “Here is Christ, there is Christ” (Matt. 24:23); he is
propitiated everywhere. (The Glossa Ordinaria—Epistles of St. John 1-3:
