Transliteration: anakainoó
Phonetic Spelling: (an-ak-ahee-no'-o)

Cognate: 341 anakainóō (from 303 /aná, "up, completing a process" and kainoō, "renew," which is derived from 2537 /kainós) – to renew by moving from one stage to a higher (more developed) one; make qualitatively new. See 342 (anakainōsis).

341 /anakainóō ("to renew") only occurs in 2 Cor 4:16 and Col 3:10, both times referring to God ever-transforming the believer – by renewing "the new man" (anthrōpos) in Christ.

[Moulton and Milligan (Vocabulary) do not find any secular occasions of 341 (anakainóō) in the papyri.]
