Therefore, my brothers and sisters, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you — the therefore (dio) marks the sermon's application: the scriptural logic of resurrection leads to soteriological benefit. Forgiveness of sins (aphesis hamartiōn) is the gospel's core promise, offered universally to all who believe. The term proclaimed (katangelō) suggests this is not a whispered secret but a public, official announcement.
