Definition for the day

Repent:

From G3326 and G3539; to think differently or afterwards, that is, reconsider (morally to feel compunction): - repent.

From G3326 and the middle of G3199; to care afterwards, that is, regret: - repent (self).

The word repent is mentioned 22 times in the New Testament. 20 times it is used in terms meaning to change ones mind and 2 times it is mentioned in the regret vernacular.
