What a difference a word can make!

Undoubtedly most of you have heard these scriptures where they record God does not forgive these particular sins, namely the ones where speaking evil of(blaspheming) the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin and entire false doctrines have been built around this to condemn people to hell!(very common among catholics for example with their false excommunication lying doctrines) My uncle once mentioned these words to me when I was a young and Biblically ignorant teen and he has been lied to by satan who whispered in his ear that he had blasphemed the Holy Spirit and that is why he was lost. My uncle tried as a result to commit suicide having believed this satanic lie. I thank God He is saved and in His presence today because he was unsuccessful in his attempt, God saved him then too physically. This has however always stuck with me and the verse never seemed right to me and now that I have been translating the original languages of Hebrew and Greek I have found out why the words never sat right. Read here what the Greek actually says in these verses and when you read on in verse 36 you see that it is in context of the books that will be opened on judgement day from which will be read before all. Some things are left out as they are not considered severe enough. Much like a court judge might leave out a speeding fine if by speeding you killed someone on the road the second misdeed being far weightier than the first.
Textus Receptus Greek:
Mat 12:31 δια τουτο λεγω υμιν πασα αμαρτια και βλασφημια αφεθησεται τοις ανθρωποις η δε του πνευματος βλασφημια ουκ αφεθησεται τοις ανθρωποις
Mat 12:32 και ος αν ειπη λογον κατα του υιου του ανθρωπου αφεθησεται αυτω ος δ αν ειπη κατα του πνευματος του αγιου ουκ αφεθησεται αυτω ουτε εν τουτω τω αιωνι ουτε εν τω μελλοντι

Literal translation of the Greek:
Matthew 12
31 because this I tell you, all sins and speaking evil(blasphemy) by men(mankind) are left(omitted) but the speaking evil(blaspheming)of the Spirit by men(mankind) will not be left(omitted)
32 and whoever speaks a word against the Son of man it will be left(omitted)for them but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit it will not be left(omitted) for them neither in this age nor in the future
