| It appears the parallel he's making there is this:
"Jesus would die for the nation" (John 11) with "He Himself is the propitiation for our sins" (1 John 2).
As well as "and not for the nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God scattered abroad" (John 11) with "and not for ours only, but also for the whole world" (1 John 2).
