STRONGS G326:
ἀναζάω,
-ῶ: 1 aorist
ἀνέζησα; a word found only in the
N. T. and ecclesiastical writings;
to live again, recover life;
a. properly, in
Rec. of
Romans 14:9;
Revelation 20:5.
b. tropically, one is said
ἀναζῆν who has been
νεκρός in a tropical sense;
α. to be restored to a correct life: of one who returns to a better moral state,
Luke 15:24 [WH marginal reading
ἔζησεν] ([
A. V. is alive again], cf. Meyer at the passage),
32 (T Tr WH
ἔζησε).
β. to revive, regain strength and vigor:
Romans 7:9; sin is alive, indeed, and vigorous among men ever since the fall of Adam; yet it is destitute of power (
νεκρά ἐστι) in innocent children ignorant of the law; but when they come to a knowledge of the law, sin recovers its power in them also. Others less aptly explain
ἀνέζησε here
began to live, sprang into life (German
lebte auf).
