Lexical notes
- The Greek word translated in verse 2 as "propitiation" (hilasmos) is used only one other time in the New Testament (in 1 John 4:10), although a related word also is used in Romans 3:25 (translated as "propitiation") and in Hebrews 9:5, where it is translated as "mercyseat." The word has the sense of something that is done to satsify the demands of God. Another technical translation sometimes used is "expiation"; some modern translations use the term "atoning sacrifice."
