Forgiveness is a central theme throughout the Bible, encompassing God’s forgiveness of humanity, interpersonal forgiveness among individuals, and the conditions or implications associated with it.

The Bible presents forgiveness as an act of grace, commanded by God, and modeled in His character. Below is a structured breakdown, organized by key categories, with direct scriptural references (using the English Standard Version for consistency and precision). This is exhaustive based on major passages but focuses on explicit mentions and core teachings.
