Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἀνακαινόω / ἀνακαινίζω [page 34] ἀνακαινόω and its noun ἀνακαίνωσις have not been traced in any source earlier than Paul, who might very well coin a word of this sort there is however no proof that he really did so. Nδgeli, p. 53, remarks on these and other new words of Paul that they answer in formation to that of other Κοινή words, going back to old Greek stems and only combining them afresh. Here the similar ἀνακαινίζειν ( Heb_6:6 ) exists in literature, as does ἀνακαίνισις . Did Paul not know them, so that he had to form words for his purpose, on such an analogy as ἀνανεόω ? Or were his words current in a limited district only? Thayer notes that Hermas used ἀνακαίνωσις ( Vis. iii. 8 .9 ) : ἡ ἀ . τῶν πνευμάτων ὑμῶν looks like a reminiscence of Rom_12:2 , and is no warrant for independent use.
