γνωστὸν οὖν : “incipit adhortatio quæ orationem claudit,” Blass. ἄφεσις ἁμαρ.: the keynote of St. Paul's preaching, cf. Acts 26:18, as it had been of St. Peter's, Acts 2:38; Acts 5:31; Acts 10:43; and as it had been of the preaching of the Baptist, and of our Lord Himself. διὰ τούτου, i.e., Christ through Him Who died, and was risen again the phrase is characteristically Pauline, cf. Acts 10:43.
