μεταμέλλομαι G3338

metaméllomai

met-am-el'-lom-ahee

from μετά and the middle voice of μέλω; to care afterwards, i.e. regret:--repent (self).

Abbott–Smith

μετα-μέλομαι, [in LXX chiefly for נחם: ni.;]
depon., pass., to regret, repent one: Mt 21:30, 32 27:3, II Co 7:8, He 7:21(LXX).†

SYN.: μετανοέω, to change one's mind, repent. On the distinction, difficult to maintain by usage, between these words, v. Thayer, s.v.; Tr., Syn., § lxix.

From G. Abbott-Smith, A Manual Greek Lexicon of the New Testament (1922), in the public domain.
