 As far as the [[New Testament]], according to the Greek Orthodox Diocese of America:
-{{Cquote|The Greek term for '''repentance''', [[metanoia]], denotes a change of mind, a reorientation, a fundamental transformation of outlook, of man's vision of the world and of himself, and a new way of [[Love|loving]] others and [[God]]. In the words of a second-century text, The Shepherd of Hermas, it implies "great understanding," [[discernment]]. It involves, that is, not mere regret of past [[evil]] but a recognition by man of a darkened vision of his own condition, in which [[sin]], by separating him from God, has reduced him to a divided, autonomous existence, depriving him of both his natural [[glory]] and [[freedom]]. "Repentance," says [[Saint Basil]], "is [[Salvation|salvation]], but lack of [[understanding]] is the death of repentance."<ref>[https://www.goarch.org/-/repentance-and-confession-introduction Repentance and Confession - Introduction], Greek Orthodox Diocese of America</ref>}}

 Repentance is primarily a change of the heart and [[mind]],<ref name="KeyBibleConcepts"/> or rather a change in the mind (Greek ''metanoia''—meta "change" + noia "mind"); a personal [[metamorphosis]]. This is what repentance means in the context of salvation: Luke 13:1-5 "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." [[Jesus]] is telling the people they need to change the way they think. In this context, a change of mind represents also a reversal of one's previous moral judgment, a repudiation of one's previous behavior.<ref name="KeyBibleConcepts"/>
