Life103.由于人里面有来自主的这种回应和返回的能力，因而有这种相互合作的官能，所以主说，人必须悔改，并且人只能貌似凭自己悔改：
耶稣说，你们若不悔改，都要如此灭亡！（路加福音13:3，5）
耶稣说，神的国近了！你们当悔改，信福音！（马可福音1:14-15）
耶稣说，我来召罪人悔改。（路加福音5:32）
耶稣对各教会说，你们要悔改。（启示录2:5，16，21-22；3:3）
经上还说：
他们并不悔改所行的。（启示录16:11）
103. Since the Lord gives us this ability to respond in turn - and therefore a mutual relationship [with him] - he says that we are to repent, and no one can repent without a sense of autonomy.
Jesus said, "Unless you repent, you will all perish." (Luke 13:3, 5)
Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." (Mark 1:14-15)
Jesus said, "I have come to call sinners to repentance." (Luke 5:32)
Jesus said to the churches, "Repent!" (Revelation 2:5, 16, 21-22; 3:3)
They did not repent of their deeds. (Revelation 16:11)
103. Since this reciprocity and reciprocation, and so mutuality, is something the person has from the Lord, therefore the Lord says that a person must repent and that no one can repent except by doing so as though of himself:
(Jesus said, ) “...unless you repent, you will all...perish.” (Luke 13:3, 5)
(Jesus said, ) “...the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, ...believe in the gospel.” (Mark 1:14-15)
(Jesus said, ) “I have...come to call...sinners to repentance.” (Luke 5:32)
(Jesus said to the churches, ) “Repent....” (Revelation 2:5, 16, 21-22, 3:3) Also:
...they...did not repent of their deeds. (Revelation 16:11)
103. Since there is with man from the Lord this power to reciprocate, and the converse, and since there is this consequent faculty of mutual cooperation, therefore the Lord says that man should repent; and no one can repent except as of himself:
Jesus said, Except ye repent, ye shall all perish. Luke 13:3, 5.
Jesus said, The kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the Gospel. Mark 1:15.
Jesus said, I came to call... sinners to repentance. Luke 5:32.
Jesus said to the Churches, Repent. Apocalypse 2:5, 16, 21; 22; Apocalypse 3:3.
Also:
They repented not of their deeds. Apocalypse 16:11.
103. As there is in man, from the Lord, this ability to reciprocate and return, and consequently this mutuality, the Lord says that a man must do the work of repentance, which no one can do except as of himself:
Jesus said: Except ye repent ye shall all perish (Luke 13:3, 5).
Jesus said: The kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye, and believe the gospel (Mark 1:14-15).
Jesus said: I am come to call sinners to repentance (Luke 5:32).
Jesus said to the churches: Repent (Revelation 2:5, 16, 21-22; 3:3).
It is also said:
They repented not of their works (Revelation 16:11).
103. Quoniam illud reciprocum et vicissim, et inde mutuum, est apud hominem a Domino, ideo dicit Dominus quod, homo paenitentiam aget; et nemo paenitentiam potest agere nisi sicut a se.
Jesus dixit, "Nisi paenitentiam egeritis, omnes peribitis" (Lucas 13:3, 5).
Jesus dixit, "Appropinquavit regnum Dei, paenitentiam agite,... credite Evangelio" (Marcus 1:14-15).
Jesus dixit, "Veni ad vocandum... peccatores ad paenitentiam" (Lucas 5:32).
Jesus dixit ecclesiis "Paenitentiam agite" (Apocalypsis 2:5, 16, 21-22; 3:3 1):
Tum,
"Non paenitentiam egerunt ex operibus suis" (Apocalypsis 16:11).
