Revelation 9:20
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:”
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.
