ἀμετανόητος, (μετανοέω, which see), admitting no change of mind (amendment), unrepentant, impenitent: Rom_2:5. (In Lucian, Abdic. 11 (passively), equivalent to ἀμεταμέλητος, which see; (Philo de praem. et poen. § 3).)

*† ἀμετανόητος , -ον ( < μετανοέω ), 1. impenitent: Rom_2:5 . 2. = ἀμεταμέλητος (Papyri, Philo , al. ; v. Deiss., BS , 257; MM , VGT , s.v. ).†

ἀμετανόητος [page 26] P Lips I. 26 .5 f. is late (beginning of iv/A.D.), but ὁμολογοῦμ̣ε̣ν̣ [ἑκο ]υσι̣α̣ καὶ α [ὐ ]θαιρέτῳ καὶ ἀμε [τα ]νοήτῳ γνώμῃ seems to be a legal formula, such as would presumably suffer little change with time : it occurs a little earlier (A.D. 289) in P Strass I. 29 31 , the same three words (adverb form) in the same order. Its active force agrees with that in Rom_2:5 . (Norden Agnostos Theos p. 135 translates the word here unbussfertig, and refers to Bonhφffer Epiktet u. das NT p. 106 f., who claims that in this word (as in μετάνοια , -νοεῖν ) gewissermassen der Gegensatz des antiken und des christlichen Denkens spiegle. ) But in CPR I. 216 .5 (i/ii A.D.) κυρίαν καὶ βεβαίαν καὶ ἀμετανόητον , P Grenf II. 68, 70 (iii/A.D.) duplicate deeds of gift ὁμολογῶ χαρίζεσθαί σοι χάριτι ἀναφαιρέτῳ καὶ ἀμετανοήτῳ . . . μέρος τέταρτον κτλ . there is a passive sense not affected by change of mind, like ἀμεταμέλητος in Rom_11:29 . So P Lond 1164 ( k ) 5 (A.D. 212) (= III. p. 166) κυρίως καὶ ἀναφα̣ι̣ρ̣έτως καὶ [ἀ ]μετανοήτως .
