“To turn” carries both a literal meaning—physically changing direction and returning to where one came from—and a metaphorical meaning, referring to a change in mental attitude that results in a corresponding change in actions.
Very good. Question please. Many questions including teachers try to make repentance and turning from sin part and parcel of the same thing. But that is not the meaning of the word metanoia which simply means a change of mind. Nothing to do with actions which follow. Correct? All right
Does the word metanoia in the Greek simply mean to change the mind. A change of mind without any reference to a change in behavior?
Thank you
Although the change of mind will impact the behavior, it is not equivalent with behavior.

Correct, repent (metanoia) is in the mind.
