For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Ephesians 2: 8,9)

Repentance is a work that only comes after the gift of faith that is given by God.

None of your Scriptures "prove" that repentance comes before faith. Repentance is a requirement for salvation, but unless a person is given the faith that Jesus can save, then he has no reason to repent.
