There are also two other words [[apolyo]] (which means ‘to release’) which is used in [[Some short comments on forgiveness by different usersLuke 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.

Forgiveness is the choice to let go of resentment and find no fault against a person for wrong he has committed. This is [[God]]'s nature and he calls [[Christian]]s to forgive like he does. The ultimate evidence of God's forgiving nature is in the [[cross]], where [[Jesus]] died so that we could be forgiven. In the [[Lord'Definitions / explanations'''* s Prayer]], Jesus asks us to pray, "Forgive us our sins and we forgive those who sin against us" ([[The Christian teaching about forgivenessMatthew 6:12]]).
