2. How has Jehovah’s forgiveness been described in the Scriptures? (See also footnote.)
2 The way Jehovah forgives us imperfect humans is very different from the way we forgive one another. The forgiveness Jehovah extends is unique. The psalmist said of Jehovah: “With you there is true forgiveness, so that you may be held in awe.”a (Ps. 130:4) Yes, Jehovah’s forgiveness is “true forgiveness.” He sets the ultimate standard of what forgiveness really means.

a The original Hebrew text uses the expression “the forgiveness,” which implies that this is the only true forgiveness, despite there being other forms of forgiveness. Many translations of the Bible miss this important distinction, but the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures does not, making it unique in its rendering of Psalm 130:4.
