    Comments: In analyzing the meaning of {L:στρέφω}[g], ἐπιστρέφω[b], and {L:ἐπιστροφή}[a] in such passages as {S:04800400900022} and {S:06000202500014}, it is difficult to determine the extent to which belief or behavior is primarily in focus. In the case of {S:06000202500014}, one could certainly argue that the emphasis is upon the interpersonal relationship. It is therefore essential in rendering these terms not to narrow the meaning too much, for in this way one would certainly do violence to certain crucial semantic features.

    DefinitionShort: to change one’s manner of life in a particular direction, with the implication of turning back to God
    Glosses: ['to change one’s ways', 'to turn to God', 'repentance']
    Comments: In a number of languages it is not sufficient to simply translate ‘to change one’s manner of life,’ for this could either be neutral or even suggest a change for the worse. Therefore, it may be necessary in a number of instances to translate ‘to change one’s way of living as God would want’ or ‘to change and live like God would want one to live.’
