Not exactly the same wording, but the same meaning.

There is no exact match for your question. However, in the NIV Bible it states forgiven sins 34 times.
There are seven words in Scripture that denote the idea of forgiveness: three in Hebrew and four in Greek. No book of religion except Christianity teaches that God completely forgives sins. God remembers our sins no more (Heb. 10:17). God is the initiator of forgiveness (Col. 2:13).
There is only one sin for which the Father does not promise forgiveness: blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Mark 3:28; Matt. 12:32). The contexts suggest this to be the sin of attributing to unclean spirits the work of the Holy Spirit.
For man to receive forgiveness, repentance is necessary (Luke 17:3-4). For the holy God to extend forgiveness, the shedding of blood is necessary (Heb. 9:22; Lev. 17:11). Forgiveness is based upon the sacrifice of Christ on the cross

Exact prhase appears 0 times.
Similar, but not exact (NASB):
Luk 5:20 Seeing their faith, He said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven you."
Luk 7:47 "For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little."
KJV:
1Jn 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
ESV:
Joh 20:23 If you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld."

~ In the KJV, one time
1John 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
I'm sure other versions of the Holy Bible may have more.
