Renew (340) (anakainizo from aná = again or back + kainízo = renew, to produce something new <> kainos= qualitatively new) means to restore
TDNT writes anakainizo means...
“to bring to conversion again.” The seriousness of the distinctive teaching of Hebrews that there is no second repentance is here shown from the standpoint of the Christian teacher who is speaking. He and his fellow-teachers cannot bring complete apostates to a new beginning which will lead to conversion. The miracle of becoming a "brand new creation" occurs only once. In early Christian writings anakainizo is a common word in connection with regeneration
Anakainizo is used in the secular writing Isocrates Areopagiticus 3 meaning to renew,” “to give new life to something already there,” “to restore”.
