μετανοέω

Strong’s: G3340

Associated OET lemmas: μετανοέω

Notes: Though it would be possible to classify μετανοέω and μετάνοια in Domain 30 Think, the focal semantic feature of these terms is clearly behavioral rather than intellectual.

Form 1

Part of speech: verb

Related lemmas: νοέω

Sense 1: to repent, to change one’s way, repentance

Semantic entry: 41.52

Semantic domains: Behavior and Related States

Subdomains: Change Behavior

Definition: to change one’s way of life as the result of a complete change of thought and attitude with regard to sin and righteousness{N:001}

Notes: Though in English a focal component of repent is the sorrow or contrition that a person experiences because of sin, the emphasis in μετανοέω and μετάνοια seems to be more specifically the total change, both in thought and behavior, with respect to how one should both think and act. Whether the focus is upon attitude or behavior varies somewhat in different contexts.
