• This propitiation is made for the whole world, not for the Jews only, nor to the exclusion of anyone at all; but for the whole world, God in His moral nature having been fully glorified by the death of Christ. (“1 John 2” by J.N. Darby)
• “Also for the sins of the whole world.” The translators added the three words “the sins of” without warrant. The Scriptures are always guarded against saying that the sins of unbelievers have had settlement made. Faith alone can appropriate such special truth. God has been propitiated, vindicated, yea glorified in spite of all sin. Leviticus 16:1516 gives this in type, while 1 John 2:20-22 present substitution for sins of His people (1 Peter 2:24). (“Help on Hard Verses” by A.C. Brown)
• This bloodshedding is put upon the mercy-seat, in virtue of which we can go and preach the gospel to every creature. (“Notes on 1 John 2:1-11” by J.N. Darby)

and he is [the] propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also fora the whole world.

WK Translation Notes

a
It is not correct to say that the propitiation of Jesus is here stated to be for the sins of the whole world. The words "sins of" is and interpolation, and are better left out. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. There is provision for it to the uttermost; but Scripture never speaks of the sins being borne away, save of believers. And it is to me as plain as possible that this very passage discriminates between "us" and "the world," even as to expiation; while advocacy with the Father is in no way connected with the world, but with the family of God. Yet Christ died for every man, gave Himself a ransom for all; but only of believers is it said that He died and suffered for their sins, or bore them in His body on the tree. But He is the propitiation for the whole world, as well as for our sins; and so the gospel can go forth freely to all the creation.
