17 From that time Jesus began to preach. »Repent,« He said, »for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand.«
3 I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you are not penitent you will all perish as they did.
38 »Repent,« replied Peter, »and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, with a view to the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
7 I tell you that in the same way there will be rejoicing in Heaven over one repentant sinner–more rejoicing than over ninety-nine blameless persons who have no need of repentance.
8 Therefore let your lives prove your change of heart;
32 I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.«
30 Those times of ignorance God viewed with indulgence. But now He commands all men everywhere to repent,
8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you who are half-hearted towards God.
19 All whom I hold dear, I reprove and chastise; therefore be in earnest and repent.
9 If we confess our sins, He is so faithful and just that He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
9 The Lord is not slow in fulfilling His promise, in the sense in which some men speak of slowness. But He bears patiently with you, His desire being that no one should perish but that all should come to repentance.
19 Repent, therefore, and reform your lives, so that the record of your sins may be cancelled, and that there may come seasons of revival from the Lord,
15 »The time has fully come,« He said, »and the Kingdom of God is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.
13 But go and learn what this means, It is mercy that I desire, not sacrifice'; for I did not come to appeal to the righteous, but to sinners.«
10 »I tell you that in the same way there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one repentant sinner.«
