Insights
Aphiemi is most often used in the New Testament to mean "send away," "let go," or "leave," such as when the disciples left their fishing nets behind to follow Jesus (Mark 1:18). When used in the context of sins, aphiemi is usually translated as "forgive." A forgiven person is set free, having had their spiritual debts dismissed.
