The Holy Bible
Forgiveness is at the center of the gospel — received from God, extended to others. These Bible verses about forgiveness show how far He removes our sins, and how we're freed to release others.
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
“Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.”
“Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.”
“He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”
““Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool.”
“Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away,”
“Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance— who does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion? He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast out all our sins into the depths of the sea.”
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!”
“To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, even though we have rebelled against Him”
“For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.””
