Summary/Abstract: The article deals with verbalizers of the phrasal concept REPENTANCE in the system of Christian moral values of the English language culture. In the proposed study, cognitive-matrix analysis was implemented as the main research methodology, the principles of which were developed by Yu. M. Boldyrev. It is based on the concept of matrix (nets) domains, in which the matrix can be illustrated graphically as a grid. It is understood as a simple set of conceptual areas, and the conceptual sphere or domain - as a context for updating the meaning of the word. The domains‟ matrix is identified in intelligence as a value system of Christianity verbalized through the system of biblical phraseology of American and British English. Scientific novelty. The exploration specifies the terminological scope of the term “biblical phraseology / biblical expression”; the essence of the method of cognitive-matrix analysis is shown, too. Conclusions. The analysis is underpinned by phraseographic sources and the conceptual component of the concept REPENTANCE has been characterized. This analysis has revealed the place of this linguistic essential quality in the structure of the integrative concept (matrix) of CHRISTIAN MORAL VALUES and the correlation of the concept of REPENTANCE with the domain of repentance is determined. The selected biblical expressions, verbalizers of this concept, are defined and characterized.
