Hanseng Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago The word "atonement" appears in the KJV New Testament just one time: Ro 5:11 And not only [so], but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. The Greek word for atonement is καταλλαγή [SN/OLB# 2643] OLB refers to the Online Bible computer program. 2643 is used 4 times in the NT. Except for Romans 5:11, it is translated as reconcile/d or reconciliation: Ro 11:15 For if the casting away of them [be] the reconciling <2643> of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead? 2Co 5:18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation <2643>; 2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation <2643> A closely related word is καταλλάσσω [2644]: Ro 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled <2644> to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled <2644>, we shall be saved by his life. 1Co 7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled <2644> to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his] wife. 2Co 5:18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled <2644> us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling <2644> the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2Co 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled <2644> to God. Sometimes the Greek words numbered 2643, a verb, and 2644, a noun, appear in the same verse The translation term, "atonement", used in Romans 5:11 is an outlier in the KJV. The Day of Atonement service in Leviticus 16 is explained in Hebrews 10. The word "atonement" is not mentioned 1 Corinthians 7:11 uses the word translated as "atonement" in Romans 5.11. It refers to the reconciling of a couple in a troubled marriage. Quote
