Definition:
The terms “restore” and “restoration” refer to causing something to return to its original and better condition.

When a diseased body part is restored, this means it has been “healed.”
A broken relationship that is restored has been “reconciled.” God restores sinful people and brings them back to himself.
If people have been restored to their home country, they have been “brought back” or “returned” to that country.
A person who “recovers” from sickness becomes healthy again, and a person who “recovers” a possession either finds it when it has been lost or gets it back from someone who has stolen it.

Translation Suggestions:

Depending on the context, ways to translate “restore” could include “renew” or “repay” or “return” or “heal” or “bring back.”
Other expressions for this term could be “make new” or “make like new again.”
When property is “restored,” it has been “repaired” or “replaced” or “given back” to its owner.
Depending on the context, “restoration” could be translated as “renewal” or “healing” or “reconciliation.”

MaryEllen noticed that the 3rd bullet under Translation Suggestions sounds more like a definition. Could we just move it up to the Definition section?
