Colossians 2:13 · NASB1995“bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.”
Colossians 3:13 · NASB1995“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.”
Ephesians 4:32 · NASB1995Colossians 1:14 defines redemption itself as “the forgiveness of sins,” and Colossians 2:13 says God has “forgiven us all our transgressions” — past, present, and future, already reckoned as forgiven the moment you trusted Christ. Ephesians 1:7 traces this forgiveness “according to the riches of His grace,” and both Colossians 3:13 and Ephesians 4:32 turn it outward: because you have been forgiven this completely, you are now free — even called — to forgive others the same way.
