This completes a series of studies that delve into the meanings and uses of words found in passages relating to the gospel message. The word "forgiveness" is used by many while understood by few. See my articles, "The Gospel According to Jesus" and "False Gospel - Exposed." I strongly encourage a study of those articles along with the companion word studies posted here and available in PDF.
Most of all, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what He would have you know about the real reason Jesus suffered and died, as recorded in God's Word - not by the tradition of man. He gave His life so that we might live. So now we must follow Him and die to self if we are to partake of His resurrection.
The series of studies includes "judge, sin, love, repent" and now "forgive." Here, you will find the Greek words translated "forgive" and all verses in the New Testament in which they are used. I pray you will be blessed as much as I was while preparing the study. And I pray that Jesus will become Everything to you, as He has to me. Now I will let you get into the study.

- The word “forgiveness” was used in the following verses in the revised KJV. See bold words for its use in the 1611 version.
Mark 3:29 (&30): “But whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin: because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.”
Acts 5:31: “Him did God exalt with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sin.”
Acts 13:38 (&39): “Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sin: and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.”

- The word “remission” was used in the following verse in the revised KJV. See bold words for its use in the 1611 version.
Matthew 26:28: “For this is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many unto remission of sin.”
Mark 1:4: “John came, who baptized in the wilderness, and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sin.”

Hebrews 9:22: “And according to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.”
(This next passage is so good that I didn’t want to quote only verse 18.)
Hebrews 10:14-22: “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. And the Holy Ghost also beareth witness to us: for after he hath said, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws on their hearts, and upon their minds also will I write them; and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh: and having a great priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure water.”

Pay close attention to all the uses for this single Greek word that for one is translated “forgive.” Think about how dissimilar they are one from the other and how they weaken the impact of the word “forgive” when it comes to its use in “making a new creature” in Christ.
- The word “cried” was used once in the revised KJV but the revisers changed it from “uttered” as in the 1611 version.
Mark 15:37: “And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.”
- Various verb tenses of the word “forgive” were used numerous times in the revised KJV. See the words in bold for their use in the 1611 version.
Matthew 18:27, 32: “And the lord of that servant being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. …Then his lord, called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me:”
Matthew 6:12, 14-15: “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. …For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 9:2, 5-6: “And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven. …For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, and take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.” (Keep in mind that Jesus had not settled the sin issue on the Cross – He still offered forgiveness as was understood under the Law.)
Matthew 18:21, 35: “Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times? …So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.”
Mark 2:5,7, 9-10(&11): “And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son, Thy sins are forgiven. …Why doth this man thus speak? He blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one, even God? …Whether is easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.”

Who can forgive sins, but God alone? But Jesus perceiving their reasonings, answered and said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he said unto him that was palsied,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thy house.”

And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins? And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee: go in peace.” (This verse sheds light on my article “The Gospel According to Jesus.” Do you see the relationship between love and faith? She loved much and her faith saved her.)
Matthew 12:31-32: “Therefore I say unto you, every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come.”

Translated: “cry, forgive, forsake, lay aside, leave, let (alone, be, go, have), omit, put (send) away, remit, suffer, yield up”
Pay close attention to all the uses for this single Greek word that for one is translated “forgive.” Think about how dissimilar they are one from the other and how they weaken the impact of the word “forgive” when it comes to its use in “making a new creature” in Christ.

But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, and take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.” (Keep in mind that Jesus had not settled the sin issue on the Cross – He still offered forgiveness as was understood under the Law.)
