Usually translated repentance'/repent.' These English words have acquired a specifically religious sense of regretting one's sins and resolving to behave differently.

The Greek METANOIA (noun) and METANOEŌ (verb) have a broader range: a change of mind, reconsideration, or a change in one's way of thinking or purpose. In the New Testament the change often concerns one's conduct and relationship to God, so `repent' is not necessarily a wrong translation. But it can make the Greek sound more specifically penitential than the word itself requires.

I have used New-Mind'/be new-minding' to preserve the idea of a changed mind while avoiding some of the religious freight carried by the English word repent.' This is an intentionally unusual rendering, not an attempt to claim that New-Mind' is a literal one-to-one equivalent of METANOIA.}
