Loutron denotes washing in passages about cleansing and salvation.

The two attestations show washing in cleansing and saving contexts: Ephesians 5:26 links it with cleansing by water, while Titus 3:5 places it within salvation through regeneration and renewal.

Senses in use

  1. Washing in cleansing and renewal · dominant

    In Ephesians 5:26, the dative singular neuter form occurs in the clause about cleansing with water; the APB renders this as “by the washing of water.” In Titus 3:5, the genitive singular neuter form occurs in the phrase through which salvation is described, alongside regeneration and renewal; the APB renders “through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “washing” in both verses, first in connection with water and then with regeneration and renewal. These phrases present the clauses rather than isolating the lemma's contribution exactly.
