This is seen in the Old Testament sacrificial system, where sins were covered temporarily.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>In the New Testament, "paresis" is used to describe the act of God passing over or overlooking sins. It is a term that conveys the idea of temporary suspension of judgment or punishment. This concept is distinct from forgiveness, as it implies a delay in dealing with sin rather than its removal.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, "paresis" reflects the understanding of God's forbearance and patience. During the Old Testament period, God "passed over" sins committed before the coming of Christ, withholding immediate judgment. This was not an indication of indifference to sin but rather a demonstration of His mercy and a foreshadowing of the ultimate atonement through Jesus Christ. The concept of "paresis" highlights the transition from the Old Covenant, where sins were temporarily covered by sacrifices, to the New Covenant, where sins are fully forgiven through Christ's sacrifice.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3929</b> <i>páresis</i>(from <a href="/greek/3844.htm">3844</a> <i>/pará</i>, "from close-beside" and <i>hiēmi</i>, "let go") – properly, to release something <i>closely felt</i>, i.e. an " 'overlooking, <i>suspension</i>, remission' of punishment for" (Souter).</p><p class="discovery"><a href="/greek/3929.htm">3929</a> <i>/páresis</i> ("passed-over-from-close-beside") is used only in Ro 3:25, of God <i>releasing His judgment on sin in the OT when redeeming believers</i>.
