It is used to express the act of forgiving someone for an offense or overlooking a fault, emphasizing a gracious and merciful attitude.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, forgiveness was not always a prominent virtue, as honor and retribution often took precedence. However, within the Jewish and early Christian contexts, forgiveness was a central tenet, reflecting God's merciful nature. The concept of "suggnómé" aligns with the broader biblical theme of divine forgiveness and the call for believers to emulate this attribute in their relationships with others.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">sun</a> and <a href="/greek/1097.htm">ginóskó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>confession, fellow feeling<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>concession (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4774: συγγνώμη</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συγγνώμη</span></span> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">συγγνώμη</span>, cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">σύν</span></span>, II. at the end), <span class="greek2">συγγνωμης</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">συγγιγνώσκω</span>, to agree with, to pardon;
