Repentance in the Greek (Repentance In A Nutshell 22)
Channel: No Nonsense Christianity
Date: 2023-10-21

The Greek New Testament uses two verbs which are translated as "repent" in our English King James Bible. Claims are made that these are "different kinds of repentance", and that the repentance for salvation includes turning a life away from sin because of the Greek verb used, which is different from the verb used when Judas repented. 

In this video, we will explore the Greek words underpinning repentance in the New Testament, and consider how they are also used in the Septuagint which is an ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament, the same Greek that Jesus and the apostles spoke. We will also consider the differences and interchangeabilities between these two verbs.
