         DefinitionShort: 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}

         Glosses: ['to repent', 'to change one’s way', 'repentance']

         Comments: 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. Compare, for example, {S:04200300800012}, {S:05800600100034}, and {S:04402602000054}.
