rebirth. Occurs in Matt. 19:28, which refers to the coming state of the whole creation, equivalent to the restoration of all things of Acts 3:21 which will occur when the Son of Man shall come in His glory. In this sense, it is equivalent to apokatástasis (605), restitution. The washing of regeneration (paliggenesía, Titus 3:5) refers to the spiritual rebirth of the individual soul. Syn.: anakaínōsis (342), renewing. Ant.: nékrōsis (3500), deadening; anaíresis (336), a killing.
