ἀμετα-νόητος G0279
Unrepentant, not changing one's mind; impenitent and hardened
This adjective describes an unrepentant heart refusing to change course or regret sin. In Romans 2:5, Paul warns about storing up wrath through 'unrepentant heart.' Classical Greek used it for unchangeable conditions and actively for impenitence. The multilingual glosses (Spanish 'impenitente', French 'impénitent', German 'unbussfertig') uniformly indicate refusal to repent. Paul's indictment addresses those who presume upon divine patience while remaining hardened, accumulating judgment rather than turning toward God's kindness meant to prompt repentance.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The accusative feminine singular form modifies 'heart,' indicating settled refusal to change mind or repent despite opportunity and warning. The active sense emphasizes willful impenitence rather than passive unchangeability. Paul's context contrasts God's kindness intended to lead to repentance with stubborn resistance that stores up eschatological wrath. The unrepentant heart treats divine patience as license rather than grace, hardening further with each squandered opportunity for metanoia, thus ensuring severer judgment on the day of wrath. 1×
