Exegesis
The nominative aphesis hamartiōn {ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν | áphesis hamartiōn} ‘forgiveness of sins’ functions as the subject, with the present passive verb katangellētai {καταγγέλλεται | katangéllētai} ‘is proclaimed’ employing a divine passive that implies God as the agent. This structure highlights the public declaration of divine forgiveness through Christ’s agency.
In context — Acts 13:38
Therefore let it be known to you, men, brothers, that through this One forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
