A change of mind and heart that brings a fresh attitude toward God, oneself, and life in general. Repentance implies that a person turns away from evil and turns his heart and will to God, submitting to God’s commandments and desires and forsaking sin. True repentance comes from a love for God and a sincere desire to obey his commandments. All accountable persons have sinned and must repent in order to progress toward salvation. Only through the atonement of Jesus Christ can our repentance become effective and accepted by God.

4 For it came to pass in the commencement of the afirst• year of the reign of bZedekiah•, king of Judah, (my father, Lehi, having dwelt at cJerusalem• in all his days); and in that same year there came many dprophets•, prophesying unto the people that they must erepent, or the great city fJerusalem• must be destroyed.
1 Ne. 1: 4-20
4 For it came to pass in the commencement of the afirst• year of the reign of bZedekiah•, king of Judah, (my father, Lehi, having dwelt at cJerusalem• in all his days); and in that same year there came many dprophets•, prophesying unto the people that they must erepent, or the great city fJerusalem• must be destroyed.
5 Wherefore it came to pass that my father, Lehi, as he went forth prayed unto the Lord, yea, even with all his aheart•, in behalf of his people.
6 And it came to pass as he prayed unto the Lord, there came a apillar• of fire and dwelt upon a rock before him; and he saw and heard much; and because of the things which he saw and heard he did bquake• and tremble exceedingly.
7 And it came to pass that he returned to his own house at Jerusalem; and he cast himself upon his bed, being aovercome• with the Spirit and the things which he had seen.
8 And being thus overcome with the Spirit, he was carried away in a avision•, even that he saw the bheavens• open, and he thought he csaw God sitting upon his throne, surrounded with numberless concourses of angels in the attitude of singing and praising their God.
9 And it came to pass that he saw One descending out of the midst of heaven, and he beheld that his aluster• was above that of the sun at noon-day.
10 And he also saw atwelve others following him, and their brightness did exceed that of the stars in the firmament.
11 And they came down and went forth upon the face of the earth; and the first came and astood• before my father, and gave unto him a bbook•, and bade him that he should read.
12 And it came to pass that as he read, he was filled with the aSpirit• of the Lord.
13 And he read, saying: Wo, wo, unto Jerusalem, for I have seen thine aabominations•! Yea, and many things did my father read concerning bJerusalem•â€â€that it should be destroyed, and the inhabitants thereof; many should perish by the sword, and many should be ccarried• away captive into Babylon.
14 And it came to pass that when my father had read and seen many great and marvelous things, he did exclaim many things unto the Lord; such as: Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord God Almighty! Thy throne is high in the heavens, and thy apower, and goodness, and mercy are over all the inhabitants of the earth; and, because thou art merciful, thou wilt not suffer those who bcome• unto thee that they shall perish!
15 And after this manner was the language of my father in the praising of his God; for his soul did rejoice, and his whole heart was filled, because of the things which he had seen, yea, which the Lord had shown unto him.
16 And now I, Nephi, do not make a full account of the things which my father hath written, for he hath written many things which he saw in avisions• and in bdreams•; and he also hath written many things which he cprophesied• and spake unto his children, of which I shall not make a full account.
17 But I shall make an account of my proceedings in my days. Behold, I make an aabridgment• of the record of my bfather•, upon cplates• which I have made with mine own hands; wherefore, after I have abridged the record of my dfather• then will I make an account of mine own life.
18 Therefore, I would that ye should know, that after the Lord had shown so many marvelous things unto my father, Lehi, yea, concerning the adestruction• of Jerusalem, behold he went forth among the people, and began to bprophesy and to declare unto them concerning the things which he had both seen and heard.
19 And it came to pass that the aJews did bmock• him because of the things which he testified of them; for he truly testified of their cwickedness• and their abominations; and he testified that the things which he saw and heard, and also the things which he read in the book, manifested plainly of the coming of a dMessiah, and also the redemption of the world.
20 And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him; yea, even as with the prophets of old, whom they had acast• out, and stoned, and slain; and they also bsought• his life, that they might take it away. But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender cmercies• of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of ddeliverance.
1 Ne. 10: 18
18 For he is the asame• yesterday, to-day, and forever; and the way is prepared for all men from the foundation of the world, if it so be that they repent and come unto him.

21 And the days of the children of amen• were prolonged, according to the bwill of God, that they might crepent• while in the flesh; wherefore, their state became a state of dprobation, and their time was lengthened, according to the commandments which the Lord God gave unto the children of men. For he gave commandment that all men must repent; for he showed unto all men that they were elost•, because of the transgression of their parents.
2 Ne. 26: 27
27 Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his asalvation? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but he hath bgiven• it free for all men; and he hath commanded his people that they should persuade all men to crepentance.
2 Ne. 30: 2
2 For behold, I say unto you that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the acovenant• people of the Lord; and as many of the bJews• as will not repent shall be ccast• off; for the Lord dcovenanteth• with none save it be with them that erepent and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of Israel.
Jacob 3: 3
3 But, wo, wo, unto you that are not pure in heart, that are filthy this day before God; for except ye repent the land is acursed for your sakes; and the Lamanites, which are not bfilthy like unto you, nevertheless they are ccursed• with a sore cursing, shall scourge you even unto destruction.
Mosiah 2: 38
38 Therefore if that man arepenteth not, and remaineth and dieth an enemy to God, the demands of divine bjustice do awaken his immortal soul to a lively sense of his own cguilt•, which doth cause him to shrink from the dpresence of the Lord, and doth fill his breast with guilt, and epain, and fanguish, which is like an unquenchable gfire, whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever.
Mosiah 26: 29
29 Therefore I say unto you, Go; and whosoever transgresseth against me, him shall ye ajudge baccording to the sins which he has committed; and if he cconfess• his sins before thee and me, and drepenteth in the sincerity of his heart, him shall ye eforgive, and I will forgive him also.
Mosiah 27: 24
24 For, said he, I have repented of my sins, and have been aredeemed• of the Lord; behold I am born of the Spirit.
Alma 5: 31

Alma 5: 49
49 And now I say unto you that this is the aorder after which I am called, yea, to preach unto my beloved brethren, yea, and every one that dwelleth in the land; yea, to preach unto all, both old and young, both bond and free; yea, I say unto you the aged, and also the middle aged, and the rising generation; yea, to cry unto them that they must repent and be bborn again.
Alma 5: 49-56
49 And now I say unto you that this is the aorder after which I am called, yea, to preach unto my beloved brethren, yea, and every one that dwelleth in the land; yea, to preach unto all, both old and young, both bond and free; yea, I say unto you the aged, and also the middle aged, and the rising generation; yea, to cry unto them that they must repent and be bborn again.
50 Yea, thus saith the Spirit: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand; yea, the Son of God cometh in his aglory•, in his might, majesty, power, and dominion. Yea, my beloved brethren, I say unto you, that the Spirit saith: Behold the glory of the bKing• of all the earth; and also the King of heaven shall very soon shine forth among all the children of men.
51 And also the Spirit saith unto me, yea, crieth unto me with a mighty voice, saying: Go forth and say unto this peopleâ€â€Repent, for except ye repent ye can in nowise inherit the akingdom of bheaven.
52 And again I say unto you, the Spirit saith: Behold, the aax• is laid at the root of the tree; therefore every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be bhewn• down and cast into the fire, yea, a fire which cannot be consumed, even an unquenchable fire. Behold, and remember, the Holy One hath spoken it.
53 And now my beloved brethren, I say unto you, can ye withstand these sayings; yea, can ye lay aside these things, and atrample the Holy One under your feet; yea, can ye be bpuffed• up in the pride of your hearts; yea, will ye still persist in the wearing of ccostly• apparel and setting your hearts upon the vain things of the world, upon your driches•?
54 Yea, will ye persist in supposing that ye are better one than another; yea, will ye persist in the persecution of your brethren, who humble themselves and do walk after the holy order of God, wherewith they have been brought into this church, having been asanctified by the Holy Spirit, and they do bring forth works which are meet for repentanceâ€â€
55 Yea, and will you persist in turning your backs upon the apoor•, and the needy, and in withholding your substance from them?
56 And finally, all ye that will persist in your wickedness, I say unto you that these are they who shall be hewn down and cast into the fire except they speedily repent.

14 Now I say unto you that ye must arepent, and be born again; for the Spirit saith if ye are not born again ye cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore come and be baptized unto repentance, that ye may be washed from your sins, that ye may have faith on the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world, who is mighty to save and to cleanse from all unrighteousness.
15 Yea, I say unto you come and fear not, and lay aside every sin, which easily doth abeset• you, which doth bind you down to destruction, yea, come and go forth, and show unto your God that ye are willing to repent of your sins and enter into a covenant with him to keep his commandments, and witness it unto him this day by going into the waters of baptism.
16 And whosoever doeth this, and keepeth the commandments of God from thenceforth, the same will aremember• that I say unto him, yea, he will remember that I have said unto him, he shall have eternal life, according to the testimony of the Holy Spirit, which testifieth in me.

Alma 34: 33
33 And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many awitnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not bprocrastinate• the day of your crepentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the dnight• of edarkness wherein there can be no labor performed.

1 Ne. 1: 4
4 For it came to pass in the commencement of the afirst• year of the reign of bZedekiah•, king of Judah, (my father, Lehi, having dwelt at cJerusalem• in all his days); and in that same year there came many dprophets•, prophesying unto the people that they must erepent, or the great city fJerusalem• must be destroyed.
1 Ne. 1: 4-20
4 For it came to pass in the commencement of the afirst• year of the reign of bZedekiah•, king of Judah, (my father, Lehi, having dwelt at cJerusalem• in all his days); and in that same year there came many dprophets•, prophesying unto the people that they must erepent, or the great city fJerusalem• must be destroyed.
5 Wherefore it came to pass that my father, Lehi, as he went forth prayed unto the Lord, yea, even with all his aheart•, in behalf of his people.
6 And it came to pass as he prayed unto the Lord, there came a apillar• of fire and dwelt upon a rock before him; and he saw and heard much; and because of the things which he saw and heard he did bquake• and tremble exceedingly.
7 And it came to pass that he returned to his own house at Jerusalem; and he cast himself upon his bed, being aovercome• with the Spirit and the things which he had seen.
8 And being thus overcome with the Spirit, he was carried away in a avision•, even that he saw the bheavens• open, and he thought he csaw God sitting upon his throne, surrounded with numberless concourses of angels in the attitude of singing and praising their God.
9 And it came to pass that he saw One descending out of the midst of heaven, and he beheld that his aluster• was above that of the sun at noon-day.
10 And he also saw atwelve others following him, and their brightness did exceed that of the stars in the firmament.
11 And they came down and went forth upon the face of the earth; and the first came and astood• before my father, and gave unto him a bbook•, and bade him that he should read.
12 And it came to pass that as he read, he was filled with the aSpirit• of the Lord.
13 And he read, saying: Wo, wo, unto Jerusalem, for I have seen thine aabominations•! Yea, and many things did my father read concerning bJerusalem•â€â€that it should be destroyed, and the inhabitants thereof; many should perish by the sword, and many should be ccarried• away captive into Babylon.
14 And it came to pass that when my father had read and seen many great and marvelous things, he did exclaim many things unto the Lord; such as: Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord God Almighty! Thy throne is high in the heavens, and thy apower, and goodness, and mercy are over all the inhabitants of the earth; and, because thou art merciful, thou wilt not suffer those who bcome• unto thee that they shall perish!
15 And after this manner was the language of my father in the praising of his God; for his soul did rejoice, and his whole heart was filled, because of the things which he had seen, yea, which the Lord had shown unto him.
16 And now I, Nephi, do not make a full account of the things which my father hath written, for he hath written many things which he saw in avisions• and in bdreams•; and he also hath written many things which he cprophesied• and spake unto his children, of which I shall not make a full account.
17 But I shall make an account of my proceedings in my days. Behold, I make an aabridgment• of the record of my bfather•, upon cplates• which I have made with mine own hands; wherefore, after I have abridged the record of my dfather• then will I make an account of mine own life.
18 Therefore, I would that ye should know, that after the Lord had shown so many marvelous things unto my father, Lehi, yea, concerning the adestruction• of Jerusalem, behold he went forth among the people, and began to bprophesy and to declare unto them concerning the things which he had both seen and heard.
19 And it came to pass that the aJews did bmock• him because of the things which he testified of them; for he truly testified of their cwickedness• and their abominations; and he testified that the things which he saw and heard, and also the things which he read in the book, manifested plainly of the coming of a dMessiah, and also the redemption of the world.
20 And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him; yea, even as with the prophets of old, whom they had acast• out, and stoned, and slain; and they also bsought• his life, that they might take it away. But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender cmercies• of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of ddeliverance.
1 Ne. 10: 18
18 For he is the asame• yesterday, to-day, and forever; and the way is prepared for all men from the foundation of the world, if it so be that they repent and come unto him.
1 Ne. 22: 28
28 But, behold, all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people shall dwell safely in the Holy One of Israel if it so be that they will arepent.
2 Ne. 2: 21
21 And the days of the children of amen• were prolonged, according to the bwill of God, that they might crepent• while in the flesh; wherefore, their state became a state of dprobation, and their time was lengthened, according to the commandments which the Lord God gave unto the children of men. For he gave commandment that all men must repent; for he showed unto all men that they were elost•, because of the transgression of their parents.
2 Ne. 26: 27
27 Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his asalvation? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but he hath bgiven• it free for all men; and he hath commanded his people that they should persuade all men to crepentance.
2 Ne. 30: 2
2 For behold, I say unto you that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the acovenant• people of the Lord; and as many of the bJews• as will not repent shall be ccast• off; for the Lord dcovenanteth• with none save it be with them that erepent and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of Israel.
Jacob 3: 3
3 But, wo, wo, unto you that are not pure in heart, that are filthy this day before God; for except ye repent the land is acursed for your sakes; and the Lamanites, which are not bfilthy like unto you, nevertheless they are ccursed• with a sore cursing, shall scourge you even unto destruction.
Mosiah 2: 38
38 Therefore if that man arepenteth not, and remaineth and dieth an enemy to God, the demands of divine bjustice do awaken his immortal soul to a lively sense of his own cguilt•, which doth cause him to shrink from the dpresence of the Lord, and doth fill his breast with guilt, and epain, and fanguish, which is like an unquenchable gfire, whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever.
Mosiah 26: 29
29 Therefore I say unto you, Go; and whosoever transgresseth against me, him shall ye ajudge baccording to the sins which he has committed; and if he cconfess• his sins before thee and me, and drepenteth in the sincerity of his heart, him shall ye eforgive, and I will forgive him also.
Mosiah 27: 24
24 For, said he, I have repented of my sins, and have been aredeemed• of the Lord; behold I am born of the Spirit.
Alma 5: 31
31 Wo unto such an one, for he is not prepared, and the atime is at hand that he must repent or he cannot be saved!
Alma 5: 49
49 And now I say unto you that this is the aorder after which I am called, yea, to preach unto my beloved brethren, yea, and every one that dwelleth in the land; yea, to preach unto all, both old and young, both bond and free; yea, I say unto you the aged, and also the middle aged, and the rising generation; yea, to cry unto them that they must repent and be bborn again.
Alma 5: 49-56
49 And now I say unto you that this is the aorder after which I am called, yea, to preach unto my beloved brethren, yea, and every one that dwelleth in the land; yea, to preach unto all, both old and young, both bond and free; yea, I say unto you the aged, and also the middle aged, and the rising generation; yea, to cry unto them that they must repent and be bborn again.
50 Yea, thus saith the Spirit: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand; yea, the Son of God cometh in his aglory•, in his might, majesty, power, and dominion. Yea, my beloved brethren, I say unto you, that the Spirit saith: Behold the glory of the bKing• of all the earth; and also the King of heaven shall very soon shine forth among all the children of men.
51 And also the Spirit saith unto me, yea, crieth unto me with a mighty voice, saying: Go forth and say unto this peopleâ€â€Repent, for except ye repent ye can in nowise inherit the akingdom of bheaven.
52 And again I say unto you, the Spirit saith: Behold, the aax• is laid at the root of the tree; therefore every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be bhewn• down and cast into the fire, yea, a fire which cannot be consumed, even an unquenchable fire. Behold, and remember, the Holy One hath spoken it.
53 And now my beloved brethren, I say unto you, can ye withstand these sayings; yea, can ye lay aside these things, and atrample the Holy One under your feet; yea, can ye be bpuffed• up in the pride of your hearts; yea, will ye still persist in the wearing of ccostly• apparel and setting your hearts upon the vain things of the world, upon your driches•?
54 Yea, will ye persist in supposing that ye are better one than another; yea, will ye persist in the persecution of your brethren, who humble themselves and do walk after the holy order of God, wherewith they have been brought into this church, having been asanctified by the Holy Spirit, and they do bring forth works which are meet for repentanceâ€â€
55 Yea, and will you persist in turning your backs upon the apoor•, and the needy, and in withholding your substance from them?
56 And finally, all ye that will persist in your wickedness, I say unto you that these are they who shall be hewn down and cast into the fire except they speedily repent.
Alma 7: 13-16
13 Now the Spirit aknoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the bflesh that he might ctake• upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.
14 Now I say unto you that ye must arepent, and be born again; for the Spirit saith if ye are not born again ye cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore come and be baptized unto repentance, that ye may be washed from your sins, that ye may have faith on the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world, who is mighty to save and to cleanse from all unrighteousness.
15 Yea, I say unto you come and fear not, and lay aside every sin, which easily doth abeset• you, which doth bind you down to destruction, yea, come and go forth, and show unto your God that ye are willing to repent of your sins and enter into a covenant with him to keep his commandments, and witness it unto him this day by going into the waters of baptism.
16 And whosoever doeth this, and keepeth the commandments of God from thenceforth, the same will aremember• that I say unto him, yea, he will remember that I have said unto him, he shall have eternal life, according to the testimony of the Holy Spirit, which testifieth in me.
Alma 6: 2
2 And it came to pass that whosoever did not belong to the church who arepented of their sins were baptized unto repentance, and were received into the church.
Alma 7: 9
9 But behold, the Spirit hath said this much unto me, saying: Cry unto this people, sayingâ€â€aRepent• ye, and prepare the way of the Lord, and walk in his paths, which are straight; for behold, the kingdom of heaven is at hand, and the Son of God bcometh• upon the face of the earth.
Alma 9: 12
12 Behold, now I say unto you that he commandeth you to repent; and except ye repent, ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God. But behold, this is not allâ€â€he has commanded you to repent, or he will utterly adestroy• you from off the face of the earth; yea, he will visit you in his banger•, and in his cfierce• anger he will not turn away.
Alma 12: 24
24 And we see that adeath comes upon mankind, yea, the death which has been spoken of by Amulek, which is the temporal death; nevertheless there was a space granted unto bman• in which he might repent; therefore this life became a cprobationary• state; a time to dprepare• to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead.
Alma 13: 10
10 Now, as I said concerning the holy order, or this ahigh• priesthood, there were many who were ordained and became high priests of God; and it was on account of their exceeding bfaith and crepentance, and their righteousness before God, they choosing to repent and work righteousness rather than to perish;
Alma 13: 18
18 But Melchizedek having exercised mighty faith, and received the office of the high priesthood according to the aholy order of God, did preach repentance unto his people. And behold, they did repent; and Melchizedek did establish peace in the land in his days; therefore he was called the prince of peace, for he was the king of Salem; and he did reign under his father.
Alma 26: 22
22 Yea, he that arepenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good bworks, and prayeth continually without ceasingâ€â€unto such it is given to know the cmysteries• of God; yea, unto such it shall be dgiven• to ereveal• things which never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring these our brethren to repentance.

1 O THAT I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go forth and speak with the atrump• of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people!
Alma 32: 13
13 And now, because ye are compelled to be humble blessed are ye; for a man sometimes, if he is compelled to be humble, seeketh arepentance; and now surely, whosoever repenteth shall find mercy; and he that findeth mercy and bendureth• to the end the same shall be saved.
Alma 34: 33
33 And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many awitnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not bprocrastinate• the day of your crepentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the dnight• of edarkness wherein there can be no labor performed.
Alma 42: 22
22 But there is a law given, and a apunishment affixed, and a brepentance granted; which repentance, mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and executeth the claw•, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not so, the works of justice would be destroyed, and God would cease to be God.
Alma 42: 29
29 And now, my son, I desire that ye should let these things atrouble• you no more, and only let your sins trouble you, with that trouble which shall bring you down unto repentance.
Hel. 5: 11
11 And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their sins because of repentance; therefore he hath asent• his angels to declare the tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls.
Hel. 5: 41
41 And Aminadab said unto them: You must arepent, and cry unto the voice, even until ye shall have bfaith in Christ, who was taught unto you by Alma, and cAmulek•, and Zeezrom; and when ye shall do this, the cloud of darkness shall be removed from overshadowing you.
Hel. 12: 23
23 Therefore, blessed are they who will repent and hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God; for these are they that shall be saved.

24 Now I would have you to remember also, that there were none who were brought unto arepentance who were not baptized with water.
3 Ne. 9: 2
2 Wo, wo, wo unto this people; wo unto the inhabitants of the whole earth except they shall arepent; for the devil blaugheth•, and his angels rejoice, because of the slain of the fair sons and daughters of my people; and it is because of their iniquity and abominations that they are fallen!
3 Ne. 9: 22
22 Therefore, whoso arepenteth and cometh unto me bas• a clittle• child, him will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God. Behold, for such I have dlaid• down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved.
3 Ne. 23: 5
5 And whosoever will hearken unto my words and repenteth and is baptized, the same shall be saved. Search the aprophets•, for many there be that testify of these things.
3 Ne. 27: 16
16 And it shall come to pass, that whoso arepenteth and is baptized in my bname shall be filled; and if he cendureth• to the end, behold, him will I hold guiltless before my Father at that day when I shall stand to judge the world.
D&C 18: 41
41 And you must preach unto the world, saying: You must arepent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ;
D&C 20: 29
29 And we know that all men must arepent and bbelieve• on the name of Jesus Christ, and worship the Father in his name, and cendure in dfaith on his name to the end, or they cannot be esaved in the kingdom of God.
