Matthew 3:2
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
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.
