AI Summary
Ἐπιστρέφω means, at its most basic, to turn around or turn back 1234. It is used of a physical action of turning oneself, wheeling around, or turning toward a place or person 13, and also of returning or going back somewhere after having left 13.
From this literal sense the word extends to a moral and spiritual turning — turning someone back to God or to right conduct, or, intransitively, one person turning or returning to God, repenting, and being converted 123. This can describe either causing another to turn back (as in bringing someone to repentance) or a person's own turning toward the Lord in repentance 13.
