Repent (noun--repentance)

"To feel such remorse or regret for past conduct as to change one's mind regarding it."

"Repent"-- NIV, NASB, KJV, Amplified, etc. "Turn from your sins"--Good News Bible "Leave your evil ways and turn to God" -- Living Bible Luke 13:3

"metanoeo" (Greek) "to change one's mind" "metamelomai" (Greek) "to regret or show remorse"

Two different Greek words are translated "repent" in the New Testament: A. Metanoeo "Repentance" (noun) 24 times 3 times in Matthew 2 times in Mark 5 times in Luke 6 times in Acts 1 time in Romans 2 times in 2 Corinthians 1 time in 2 Timothy 3 times in Hebrews 1 time in 2 Peter “Repent” (verb) 34 times 5 times in Matthew 2 times in Mark 9 times in Luke 5 times in Acts 1 time in 2 Corinthians 12 times in Revelation

B. Metamelomai "Repent" (verb)--6 times 3 times in Matthew 2 times in 2 Corinthians 1 time in Hebrews Interesting Insights -- The word is never used in the Gospel of John; but it is used Revelation 12 times. -- The author Luke used it the most. (Luke and Acts). -- Repentance is not emphasized much in the Epistles because they were written to believers.

Metanoeo literally means "to proceed afterward." It is made up of two Greek words: meta, which means "after" (implying change), and noeo, which means "to perceive" (nous is Greek for "the mind"). From this we get the meaning of "to change one's mind or purpose." In the New Testament this change is always for the better, and it denotes for genuine, complete change of heart and life.

Not only does it imply a turning away (negative) from sin, but a turning to (positive) that which is right and godly. It means more than just feeling sorry for wrong you've done. It also means to completely change your mind about the sin and go a different way. Metamelomai comes from meta (“after”) and melo (“to care for”). It means to regret or express remorse for something you wish you hadn't done. It means to have painful anxiety (sorrow), over a past deed. This is not genuine repentance. It means to regret something you did without ever really changing your mind about it.” (“I'm sorry I got caught, but I'm not sorry I did it. Or “I'm not sure I wouldn't do it again.") The best illustration of this is Judas. He was regretful for betraying Jesus (metamelomai -- Matthew 27:3), but he never genuinely repented of it (metanoeo).

A. In Other Writings Metanoeo was not used much in classical Greek literature. When the word was used, you do not mean the radical change of a man's life is a whole as a dozen the New Testament.

B. Throughout the Bible Repentance (naham) in the Old Testament is seen most clearly in Ezekiel 18 & 33:10 – 20. “Repent” was the basic message of John the Baptist (Matthew 3:2), Jesus (Matthew 4:17), the 12 disciples (Mark 6:12), Peter at Pentecost (Acts 2:38). It is commanded by God for everyone (Acts 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9). It is part of saving faith (Luke 13:5; Acts 3:19. It produces joy in heaven (Luke 15:7,10). It is proven by our actions (Acts 26:20). Jesus used the word 17 times in the Gospels and 8 times in Revelation. What causes us to repent? -- God's goodness to us (Romans 2:4) -- Godly sorrow for our sin and 2 Corinthians 7:9-10) -- God’s grace (2 Timothy 2:25) It is a foundational truth of the Christian life (Hebrews 6:1).

C. In the context of the passage: 2 Corinthians 7, 9-10 This verse shows the difference between genuine repentance (metanoeo) and mere regret (metamelomai). Real godly sorrow brings about genuine repentance. This brings about a change of life, not just regret.

"Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?" (Romans 2:4) Sin to Confess/Attitude to Change I have held a personal grudge in my heart against John ever since the incident in the mountains last fall. This put a strain on our relationship. The Lord has convicted me about this in the past, but I put off making restitution. I know I have sinned. I want to repent of this sin now. Tomorrow afternoon I'll go to John and ask for his forgiveness. I want to straighten this matter out.
