What Must We Do?  Let's Look at our Relationship to Sin:

   Luke 13:3-5 "I tell you, no, but unless you repent*, you will all likewise perish. "Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem? "I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." (NAS)

Question:

According to Luke 13:3-5, Jesus says that unless we do what, we will all likewise perish?

Repent Only Believe Only Have Faith


Other Translations - Luke 13:3-5:

  I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them-- do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish." (NIV)

"I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. "Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? "I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish." (NKJ)

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like manner perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (ASV)

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (KJV)

*Note: The English word "repent" is translated from the Greek word that Jesus spoke called "metanoeo" which is defined as "to think differently or afterwards, i.e., reconsider, literally "to perceive afterwards" (meta, "after," implying "change," noeo, "to perceive"; nous, "the mind, the seat of moral reflection"), hence signifies "to change one's mind or purpose," always, in the New Testament, involving a change for the better, an amendment."
