the Greek word has meta as its first syllable which means change. You can argue all you wish but that does not change (meta0 anything. When you are talking about what Jesus said in the NT you must use koine Greek. There is nowhere in the NT that says Repent of your sins it is not there. It is quite true I did not define what the word Repent is but Jesus did. So allow that change of heart and mind that leads to a change of direction so you can trust in rely on Jesus because he is the only way.

>>There is nowhere in the NT that says Repent of your sins it is not there.<<

Mat 9:13 But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Mar 2:17 When Jesus heard [it], he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Luk 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

The call to repentance from sin may not be in your modern version (NIV, etc.) but it is in the KJV and the Greek manuscripts that back it (TR).

There is nowhere in the NT that says Repent of your sins it is not there.
 

KJV Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Lack of it leads to damnation:

KJV Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
