Note 5 at Ac 10:43: The Greek word translated "remission" here is "APHESIS." It means "freedom; (figuratively) pardon" (Strong's Concordance) and was translated "deliverance," "forgiveness," and "liberty." "Remit," the verb form of "remission," is defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as "1. To transmit (money) in payment. 2a. To cancel (e.g., a tax or penalty). b. To pardon; forgive. 3. To slacken. 4. To diminish; abate."

APHESIS was translated "remission" nine times in the New Testament (Mt 26:28; Mr 1:4; Lu 1:77, 3:3, 24:47; Ac 2:38, 10:43; Heb 9:22, and 10:18), "forgiveness" six times (Mr 3:29; Ac 5:31, 13:38, 26:18; Eph 1:7; and Col 1:14), and "deliverance" and "liberty" one time each (both in Lu 4:18).
