In Matthew 3:2, the Amplified  Version twists repentance into works salvationism heresies, promotes the New Age lie of "change your inner self" and promotes multiple unbiblical, works based salvation heresies of "change your inner self, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance, seek God’s purpose for your life" to not perish and be saved😰:

Matthew 3:2 KJB
And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.✅💯📖

Matthew 3:2 Amplified Version
Repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life], for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”❌😰

Changing yourself, regretting past sins, living life to somehow prove repentance, and seeking God's purpose, are works that do not save us. Repentance is a change of mind, not all these works that the Amplified Version add into salvation, because we are saved when we believe on the risen Lord Jesus Christ, not trusting any of our efforts/works/deeds for salvation (Acts 16:31, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:36, John 3:15-17, John 6:35, 39-40, Romans 10:9-10, Revelation 22:17 with John 4:14, 6:46, and 7:38, Romans 3:26 & 10:13, Galatians 2:16, Acts 8:37, the second half of verse 17 of Mark Chapter 16, John 11:26, 1 Peter 2:6, Acts 10:43, Romans 1:16, 1 John 5:11, 1 John 2:25, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18, Mark 9:23, 1 Timothy 1:16, John 9:35-41)

Ephesians 2:8-9 KJB
[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] not of works, lest any man should boast.📖

Galatians 2:16 KJB
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.📖

Discard the Amplified Version/AMP and get, read, and believe the words of the KJB.
