Like the attackers in the Jiangyou incident—arrogant, repeat offenders, and not afraid of going to the police station many times—in reality, the chance they repent is almost zero.
像JY事件这种施暴者——嚣张、反复作恶、甚至多次进公安局都不怕——，现实中，他们悔改的比例接近零。
The reasons are:
原因如下：
The Bible says: “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9)
圣经说：“人心比万物都诡诈，坏到极处，谁能识透呢？”（耶利米书 17:9）
This means that without the work of the Holy Spirit, people will not admit their sin or ask for forgiveness.
这意味着没有圣灵的工作，人天然不会主动承认罪、求饶恕。
Many attackers, even if punished by the law, are only afraid of the result, not truly admitting the nature of their sin.
很多施暴者即使被法律惩罚，也只是怕后果，不是真的承认罪的本质。
True repentance needs someone to point out the sin and guide the person back to the truth with love. (Galatians 6:1)
真正的悔改，需要有人指出罪，并用爱心引导回到真理。（加拉太书 6:1）
In reality, schools, families, and even the justice system rarely provide such spiritual guidance. They focus more on “discipline” or “image control.”
现实中，学校、家庭、甚至司法系统极少或没有提供这样的属灵引导，更多是“纪律约束”或“形象管理”。
If the people around them excuse or cover up their actions, the attackers may become even worse.
如果周围人纵容、推卸责任，施暴者很可能变本加厉。
The Bible tells us: “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them.” (John 6:44)
圣经告诉我们：“没有人能到我这里来，若不是差我来的父吸引他。”（约翰福音 6:44）
Therefore, true repentance is not common. It is a special gift of God.
所以，真正的悔改不是普遍发生的，而是上帝特别的恩典。
In history, there are a few serious criminals who came to faith and repented in prison, but the number is very small.
历史上确实有极少数严重罪犯在监狱中信主、悔改，但比例极低。
We cannot naively think “everyone will repent,” and we cannot delay justice because maybe someone will repent.
我们不能天真地假设“所有人都会悔改”，也不能因可能有人悔改，就推迟公义的惩罚。
Justice must come first, and mercy must be built on the foundation of justice.
公义必须先行，怜悯是在公义的基础上施行的。
For those who keep doing evil and do not repent, the Bible clearly says they must be restrained and separated. (Romans 13:4; 1 Corinthians 5:13)
对于持续作恶且不悔改的人，圣经也清楚说要隔离、管束。（罗马书 13:4；哥林多前书 5:13）
From the Bible’s view, the attackers in the Jiangyou incident will probably not repent, unless God works in them directly.
从圣经角度看，JY事件中的施暴者大概率不会悔改，除非神亲自动工。
Therefore: 因此：
The law must hold them fully accountable, with no softness.
法律上必须追究到底，不能心软。
The church and believers can pray for their repentance, but should not put hope in human nature.
教会和信徒可以为她们的悔改祷告，但不要把希望建立在人性上。
The protection of the victims and the pursuit of justice must be the first priority.
受害者的保护与公义伸张要放在首位。
