(OLB G5888) Synonyms for Regeneration, Renovation: palingenesia (παλιγγενεσία G3824), anakainosis (ἀνακαίνωσις G342)
(παλιγγενεσία G3824) palingenesia means new birth. In classical Greek it was used in a weakened sense to denote a recovery, restoration, revival. In the N. T. it is used only twice, but in a higher sense. In Tit 3:5 it means new birth, regeneration, referring to God's act of causing the sinner to pass from the death of sin into spiritual life in Christ. It has a wider meaning in Mat 19:28, where it is used of the change which is ultimately to take place in all the universe, its regeneration, which is the full working out of the change involved in the regeneration of the individual. anakainosis is renewal or renovation, denoting a continuous process through which man becomes more fully Christ- like, in which process he is a worker together with God. Some, as e. g. Cremer, without sufficient reason, have thought that the early use of (παλιγγενεσία G3824) palingenesia as a somewhat technical term, to denote the Pythagorean doctrine of transmigration, gave to the word a permanent eschatological coloring, so that in the N. T. it has the meaning resurrection, especially in Mat 19:28.
