Repentance In Webster's Dictionary

\Re*pent"ance\ (r[-e]*p[e^]nt"ans), n. [F. repentance.] The act of repenting, or the state of being penitent; sorrow for what one has done or omitted to do; especially, contrition for sin. --Chaucer. Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation. --2. Cor. vii. 20. Repentance is a change of mind, or a conversion from sin to God. --Hammond. Repentance is the relinquishment of any practice from the conviction that it has offended God. Sorrow, fear, and anxiety are properly not parts, but adjuncts, of repentance; yet they are too closely connected with it to be easily separated. --Rambler. Syn: Contrition; regret; penitence; contriteness; compunction. See {Contrition}.
