==Contents==In the New Testament, there are two main verbs to consider concerning forgiveness, [[charizomai]] (which means ‘to deal graciously with’) and [[aphiemi]] (which means ‘to send away’ or ‘to loose’). The noun [[aphesis]] (which means ‘remission’) is also found frequently. There are also two other words [[apolyo]] (which means ‘to release’) which is used in [[Luke 6:37]] (‘forgive, and you will be forgiven’) and [[paresis]] (which means ‘a passing by’) used in [[Romans 3:25]] of God’s passing over previous sins.
