These words have very different meanings, but interestingly, both work in the sentence. 'Verbo' means by a word / in a word and 'Vere' is an adverb meaning truly.
With 'verbo', the sentence reads: Nevertheless, everyone was able to tell the works of repentance in a word
With 'vere', the sentence reads: Nevertheless, everyone was truly able to tell the works of repentance
