METANOEO
American: think
differently, turnabout (make a “U” turn), repent
Hebrew Aramaic: shuwb
METANOIA
American: reversal, repentance, compunction
Hebrew Aramaic: nocham
Many pious Christians have made placards, which
they have displayed at sporting events, that feature the word “repent”. Those
of us who have attended church services have heard “repent” repeatedly from
pulpits and most, if asked, might say the word means to rue one’s sins. Those
not attending churches might say, “I don’t know what that means.” Perhaps the
best rendition might be “Turn to God”. In essence, metanoeo means to
stop facing (or following) the devil (while keeping ones back toward Theos); make
a “U” turn to face Theos and put your back toward the devil.

2nd Corinthians 7.8: Because even if I grieved you in the first letter, I not regret it now, even though I did regret it then. For I see that that letter (even if indeed it grieved you for an hour) has caused change. Now, I am joyful, not that you were grieved, conversely, that you were grieved to metanoian. For you grieved down to the choice of Theos in order that you might not be injured in even one word emergent from me. For sadness down to the choice of Theos works metanoian to irrevocable soterian [rescue, safety, salvation] but worldly sadness fully works out death. Notice this same issue (for you to be grieved down to the choice of Theos), how much it fully worked out (in you) spouden [speed, alacrity, eagerness], also apologian [a plea, giving an account, a defense], also indignation, also fear, also a longing, also zelon [heat: zeal, ardor], also retribution! In all you present yourselves clean of this deed [incest]. Therefore, even if I wrote to you, it was not for the one being unjust nor for the one being wronged, conversely, it was because of my spouden toward you before the face of Theos. Via this reason I more superabundantly parakeklemetha [have been encouraged] over your paraklesei [encouragement] and even more, I rejoice over the joy of Titus, because he has been rested [refreshed] off all of you, that if I have boasted anything over you all to him, I wasn't shamed down. As we [I] spoke the whole truth to you, so also our [my] boasting over Titus was caused to be the truth. Titus’ splen [spleen, guts, bowels, sympathy] is toward you more superabundantly, he remembering the attentive listening obedience of you all as you received him with fear and trembling. I then rejoice that in all I exercise courage [have confidence] in you.
2nd Corinthians 12.21: Now, I fear lest coming, I somehow find you not what I wish and may be found by you not what you wish. How is it among you? Is there quarreling, zeloi [heat: jealousy, envy, malice], thumoi [passions, anger, indignation], intrigues, defamations, whisperings, haughtiness, instability? I fear lest my Theos again humble me with you at my coming and that I shall grieve over many of those having previously done hamartia [misses of the mark or goal; errors, offenses, sins] and not metanoesanton over the impurity and poneria [depravity] and licentiousness that they have practiced.
Romans 2: Therefore, you are without excuse, O man, all of you krinon [distinguishing, deciding, judging, putting on trial] for in what you krineis in another person, you condemn yourself for you condemning practice the same offenses. Now, we know that the krima [decision, judgment rendered, verdict] of Theos is down [according] to truth upon those who indeed practice these offenses. Do you think this, O man (you krinon upon those indeed practicing these offenses and yet doing them yourself), that you will escape the krima of Theos? Or do you despise the wealth of the chrestotetos [usefulness], the tolerance and the forbearance of Theos; not knowing that the chreston of Theos leads you to metanoian? But because of your skleroteta [callous, hard] and impenitent heart, you are accumulating for yourself orgen [violent passion, fury, rage, wrath] in a day of orges and a revelation of the dikaiokarisias [right judgment] of Theos, Who will give to each one down to his work.
PSALM 62.12: [about the Adonay] “... for You complete [perfect] a man according to his action [work].”
Luke 17: Now, He [Jesus] said to the mathetas [learners, pupils, disciples], “It is inconceivable that skandala [stumbling blocks, snares, scandals] shouldn’t come but woe to him via whom they come. It is advantageous to him if a millstone (so large as turned of [by] an ass) be put around his neck and he be tossed into the sea than that he should entrap one of these micron [little ones]. Watch out for yourselves! Now, if your brother hamarte [err, offend, sin] to you, admonish him and if he metanonse, aphes [send forth, forsake, forgive] him. And if he hamarte seven times of the [in a] day to you and seven times of the day reverts upon you saying, ‘I metanoo,’ you apheseis [shall forgive] him.”
Acts
2.36: [Peter speaking] “Accordingly, surely let all the House of Israel
know that Theos made Him both Kurion and Christon [Anointed One, Messiah,
Christ]; this Jesus Whom you impaled on a stake.”
Acts
2.37: And having heard, they were thoroughly pierced to the kardia [heart,
core] and spoke toward Rock and the remaining apostolous [delegates,
ambassadors, apostles],
“What
may we do? men! brothers!”
And Rock spoke toward them,
“Metanoesate and baptistheto [be emersed, submerged, baptized] (each of you) upon the name [authority] of Jesus the Christou into freedom from hamartioi and you will receive the gift of the Hagios Pneuma. For the epaggelia [announcement, proclamation, promise] is to you and to your children; also, to all those to [at] a distance, as many as may call toward themselves, ‘The Kurios our Theos!’”
And the [in] other logois, he more earnestly attested and parekalei [called near, invited, urged, exhorted, encouraged, consoled], saying,
“Eothete [Be made safe, be saved] off this skolias [crooked, warped, perverse] generation.”
Accordingly, those
former speakers, with pleasure
welcoming his logon, ebaptithesan [were baptized] and that day there
were annexed [added] about three thousand psuchai [souls, lives, psyches, egos] to the Kingdom of God.
Acts
19: Now, it was caused to be, in the time
Apollos was in Corinth, Achaia traversing
the upper parts [highlands], Paul came to Ephesus, Asia and finding some mathetas, said to the same,
“Pisteusantes
[Having had faith], if [did] you received the Hagios Pneuma?”
And
they said to him,
“Conversely,
we didn’t even hear if there is a Hagios Pneuma.”
Then,
he said to them,
“Into
Whom then you ebaptisthete [were baptized]?”
Now,
they said,
“Into the baptima of John Bar Zekaryahuw [in Hebrew; Zecharia in American].”
Now, Paul said,
“John in fact ebaptise a baptisma of metanoias for hamartia to the people, saying that they should pisteusosi [have reliance, have faith] into the One coming after him; that is into Jesus the Christou.”
Now, hearing this, they ebaptisthesan [were baptized] into the Name of the Kuriou Jesus, and Paul laying upon them his hands, the Hagios Pneuma came upon them. They both spoke in glossais [tongues, languages] and proepheteuon [before told, spoke under inspiration, prophesied] and all of those were about twelve men.
Hebrews 12.14: Pursue shalom [safety, peace, health, happiness, prosperity, friendship] and hagiasmon [holiness, purity] with everyone, without which not even one person will see the Kuriou. Be diligently watching out lest any lack from the charitos [graciousness] of Theos, lest any root of bitterness growing up, disturb and via this many be defiled. Lest there be in your midst any pornos [male prostitute] or profane one, as Esau, who gave up his birthright for one feeding. For (in fact) you know that afterwards, desiring to inherit the eulogian [fine speaking, commendation, blessing, eulogy], he was rejected for he not found room for metanoias, though seeking it with tears.
Mark 1.14: Now, after John was surrendered, Jesus came into Galilee kerusson [proclaiming, heralding] the euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] of the Kingdom of Theos and saying, “The time has been made replete [complete] and the Kingdom of Theos approaches. Metanoeite and pisteuete [have reliance, have faith] in the euaggelio.”
2nd Peter 3.8: But not let this one fact lie hidden from you, agapetoi [unconditionally beloved], that one day with the Kurio is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. The Kurios of the epaggelias [announcements, proclamations, promises], not delays as some consider tardiness; conversely, He is forbearing to us, not boulomenos [having a will, having a resolve, having an intention] to totally destroy any but willing all to enter into metanoian. But The Day of the Kuriou will arrive, as a thief in the night, in which the ouranoi [heavens, sky, aloft] will pass away with the whirring roar, the elements will be set afire and melt away and the earth and the works in it will be totally burned up. Accordingly, these all being melted down, what sort of people ought you to be? hagiais in behavior and piety to anticipate and to hasten the arrival of The Day of Theos via which the ouranoi, having been ignited, will be melted away and the elements, set afire, will melt! But down to His epaggelma [announcement, proclamation, promise], we anticipate a new ouranous and a new earth in which dikaiosune [equity, justification, rightness] dwells.
