ἀνάστασις
anástasis · Greek · Strong's G386 · 42 occurrences
What it means
a standing up again, i.e. (literally) a resurrection from death (individual, genitive case or by implication, (its author)), or (figuratively) a (moral) recovery (of spiritual truth)
from G450 (ἀνίστημι);
How the KJV renders it
raised to life again, resurrection, rise from the dead, that should rise, rising again
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
