MARK 1:15 AND SAYING,
THE TIME IS FULFILLED, AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND: REPENT YE, AND
BELIEVE THE GOSPEL.
WEBSTER (1828):
REPENT', v.i. [L. re and paeniteo, from paena, pain. Gr. See
Paint.]
1. To feel pain, sorrow or regret for something done or
spoken; as, to repent that we have lost much time in idleness or sensual
pleasure; to repent that we have injured or wounded the feelings of a friend. A
person repents only of what he himself has done or said.
2. To express sorrow for something past.
Enobarbus did before thy face repent.
3. To change the mind in consequence of the inconvenience or
injury done by past conduct.
Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and
they return. Exo 13.
4. Applied to the Supreme Being, to change the course of
providential dealings. Gen 6. Psa 106.
5. In theology, to sorrow or be pained for sin, as a
violation of God's holy law, a dishonor to his character and government, and
the foulest ingratitude to a Being of infinite benevolence.
Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13.
Acts 3.
