Abstract

Forgiveness in the Christian tradition transcends moral obligation and constitutes an ethical response to God's salvific grace. This study offers an exegetical analysis of three key Greek terms in Colossians 3:13, namely "anechomenoi" (patient forbearance), "charizomenoi" (forgiving as an act of grace-giving), and "echarisato" (Christ's completed act of forgiveness), employing a qualitative approach through grammatical-historical exegesis. The analysis encompasses lexical, grammatical, historical, and theological dimensions. The findings demonstrate that the verbal tense distinction between the aorist indicative of echarisato and the present participle of charizomenoi and anechomenoi is not merely a grammatical phenomenon but a theological structure, affirming that the congregation's ongoing forgiveness is grounded in God's completed act of forgiveness in Christ. Christian forgiveness is communal, proactive, and unconditional precisely because it derives from charis rather than legal obligation. These findings carry significant implications for forming congregational communities that practice forgiveness as a communal way of life grounded in the boundless grace of Christ.

 

Abstrak

Pengampunan dalam tradisi Kristen melampaui kewajiban moral, yakni sebagai respons etis terhadap anugerah keselamatan Allah. Penelitian ini mengkaji secara eksegetis tiga kata kunci Yunani dalam Kolose 3:13, yaitu “anechomenoi” (sabar menanggung), “charizomenoi” (mengampuni sebagai pemberian anugerah), dan “echarisato” (Kristus telah mengampuni secara tuntas), melalui pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode eksegesis gramatikal-historis. Analisis mencakup kajian leksikal, gramatikal, historikal, dan teologis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan kala verba antara aorist indicative pada echarisato dan present participle pada charizomenoi dan anechomenoi bukan sekadar fenomena gramatikal, melainkan struktur teologis yang menegaskan bahwa pengampunan jemaat berakar pada pengampunan Allah yang telah tuntas di dalam Kristus. Pengampunan Kristen bersifat komunal, proaktif, dan tak bersyarat, sebab bersumber dari charis, bukan dari tuntutan hukum. Temuan ini berimplikasi bagi pembentukan komunitas jemaat yang mempraktikkan pengampunan sebagai gaya hidup komunal yang berlandaskan pada kasih karunia Kristus yang tidak terbatas.
