- Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand.
- No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
- Repent, therefore, and be converted so that your sins may be wiped away.
- I reprove and discipline all those whom I love. Therefore, be sincere in your desire to repent.
- Repent and renounce all your transgressions. Otherwise your iniquity will prove to be your downfall.
- From that day forward Jesus began to proclaim the message: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand.”
- God has overlooked the times of human ignorance, but now he commands people everywhere to repent.
- The time of fulfillment has arrived, and the kingdom of God is close at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.
- Peter answered, “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.”
- I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord God. Repent and live!
- If your brother should sin, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. Even if he wrongs you seven times a day, and comes back to you seven times to say, ‘I am sorry,’ you must forgive him.
- I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
- Produce good fruit as proof of your repentance.
- In the same way, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.
- God is not human, that he should lie,
or the son of man, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act,
does he promise and then not fulfill it? - The Lord does not delay in keeping his promise, as some think in terms of delay, but he is patient with you. It is not his wish that any should perish but rather that all should be brought to repentance.
- I baptize you with water for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is more powerful than I am. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
- Such godly sorrow results in repentance that leads to salvation and causes no regret, whereas worldly sorrow 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, Jesus.”
- If you would seriously consider my reproof,
I would pour out my thoughts to you
and make my precepts known to you. - In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
- Therefore, let us leave behind the basic teaching about Christ and advance toward maturity. We must not be forever laying the foundation: repentance for actions that lead to death, faith in God, instruction about baptisms and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
Whoever believes in me,
as Scripture has said,
‘Streams of living water
shall flow from within him.’
