Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἀνακαινίζω / ἀνακαινόω [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.

Renew (340) anakainizo
Renew (340) (anakainizo from aná = again or back + kainÃzo = 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”.
