- Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.
- No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
- Repent therefore, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out.
- I reprove and discipline those whom I love. Be earnest, therefore, and repent.
- Repent and turn from all your transgressions; otherwise iniquity will be your ruin.
- From that time Jesus began to proclaim, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
- And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.”
- While God has overlooked the times of human ignorance, now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
- Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
- If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive.
- Bear fruit worthy of repentance.
- I have come to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance.
- Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
- For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord God. Turn, then, and live.
- God is not a human being, that he should lie,
or a mortal, that he should change his mind.
Has he promised, and will he not do it?
Has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? - The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.
- I baptize you with water for repentance, but one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
- For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret, but worldly grief produces death.
- Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus.”
- Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
- Give heed to my reproof;
I will pour out my thoughts to you;
I will make my words known to you. - Therefore let us go on toward perfection, leaving behind the basic teaching about Christ, and not laying again the foundation: repentance from dead works and faith toward God, instruction about baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory. Selah
