Dear Gary,

I think the sequence Paul lays out in 2 Cor 7:9-10 prohibits 
METANOIEW/METANOIA
from meaning a change of mind. Certainly sorrow over past behavior is a 
result
of seeing things from a different perspective. Therefore,from the context
this term must include a change of behavior also. It seems clear that a
change in behavior was the firm implication in Mt 3:2; and 4:17 also. 
Therefore, I think we must deal with the concept as Martin Luther said in
the first of his 95 theses. Mt 4:17 refers to a lifestyle of repentance.
