Hello brothers and sisters.

My question is not on what the unpardonable sin is, at all.

My question is, who first coined the term(s), or who first used the term(s), “unforgivable sin” and “unpardonable sin”? These terms are nowhere in the Bible. I know the scriptures they represent, but who first used these terms?

"Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven" (Matthew 12:31, RSV).

"but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin" (Mark 3:29).

"And every one who speaks a word against the Son of man will be forgiven, but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven" (Luke 12:10).
