Luke 17:4
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.”
μετανοέω
Meta — after. Noeo — to think. To think again after. Repentance is not self-punishment. It is a change of mind so complete that your direction changes. You were walking one way. Now you walk another. That is metanoia.
