ametameletos describes what is not subject to regret or reversal, whether repentance or God's gifts and calling.

The two attestations characterize something as not regretted or reversed: repentance is described in relation to salvation in 2 Corinthians 7:10, while God's gifts and calling are stated to be irrevocable in Romans 11:29.

    In 2 Corinthians 7:10, the accusative singular feminine form appears in the clause about repentance leading to salvation; the APB renders that clause “repentance that leads to salvation without regret.” In Romans 11:29, the nominative plural neuter form occurs with God's gifts and calling; the APB renders them “irrevocable.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses as “without regret” in 2 Corinthians 7:10 and “irrevocable” in Romans 11:29. These renderings identify the clauses' overall presentation rather than a precise token-by-token translation.
