Change from evil past or heartless present (6)
I believe the answer is:
repent
This might be a double definition.
'change from evil past' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't see how they can define each other.
'heartless present' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repent that I've seen before include "Feel guilty" , "Be contrite, ye sinners" , "Feel remorse for" , "Be sorry for - . . . . . . ye sinners" , "Show remorse" .)
