STRONGS G3929:
πάρεσις,
παρεσισεως,
ἡ (
παρίημι, which see),
pretermission, passing over, letting pass, neglecting, disregarding:
διά τήν πάρεσιν...
ἀνοχή τοῦ Θεοῦ, because God had patiently let pass the sins committed previously (to the expiatory death of Christ), i. e. bad tolerated, had not punished (and so man's conception of his holiness was in danger of becoming dim, if not extinct),
Romans 3:25, where cf. Fritzsche; (
Trench, § xxxiii. (
Hippocrates,
Dionysius Halicarnassus, others)).
