regeneration
Palingenesia denotes a renewal set in Jesus’ enthronement scene and in the washing associated with salvation.
The attested uses portray renewal in two stated settings: the scene of the Son of Man seated in glory in Matthew 19:28 and the washing through which God saves, joined with renewal of the Holy Spirit, in Titus 3:5.

In Matthew 19:28, the dative singular form occurs in the setting where the Son of Man sits on his throne of glory and the followers sit on twelve thrones; the APB renders the setting “in the regeneration.” In Titus 3:5, the genitive singular form occurs in the clause about God saving “through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “regeneration” in both clauses: as the setting in Matthew 19:28 and in the phrase “washing of regeneration” in Titus 3:5. These renderings confirm the clauses’ presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the Greek noun.
