Ephesians 4:23
"and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds". ESV. My emphasis. renewed/ananeousthai. [Infinitive verb].
Romans 12:2
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect". renewal/anakainosei. [Noun].
One is a verb and one a noun. But they both have "renew" and both relate to mind/noos.
As these different Greek words appear in different contexts, are different
aspects of the mind described as being "renewed"?
Do these two words mean the same or are there nuanced differences in the sort of renewal being described?
