365 ananeóō (from 303 /aná, "up, completing a process," which intensifies 3501 /néos, "recent, new") – properly, going up to a higher stage (level of sanctification) by God's power; divinely renewed.

365/ananeoō ("make new in relation to time") is only used in Eph 4:23. Here believers are reminded of God's continuous offer to bring new strides in their sanctification through "sanctified reasoning" – raising the meaning up to new levels of spiritual comprehension and reality.
