{Are forgiven} (aphe(936e)tai). Doric perfect passive form.
See  Lu 5:21,23 . {For she loved much} (hoti (8867)ap(8873)en polu).
Illustration or proof, not reason for the forgiveness. Her sins
had been already forgiven and remained forgiven. {But to whom
little is forgiven, the same loveth little} (H(9369) de oligon
aphietai oligon agap(8369)). This explanation proves that the
meaning of hoti preceding is proof, not cause.
