 paliggenesia 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 #Mt 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.

 anakainowsiv 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
 paliggenesia 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 #Mt 19:28.
