Passing Over

1: πάρεσις (Strong'S #3929 — Noun Feminine — paresis — par'-es-is )

primarily "a letting go, dismissal" (akin to pariemi, "to let alone, loosen"), denotes "a passing by" or "praetermission (of sin)," "a suspension of judgment," or "withholding of punishment,"  Romans 3:25 , Rv, "passing over" (Av, "remission"), with reference to sins committed previously to the propitiatory sacrifice of Christ, the "passing by" not being a matter of Divine disregard but of forbearance.
