Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Verb Strong's Number: g4762 Greek: strepho

Convert, Conversion:

"to turn," is translated "be converted" in Mat 18:3, AV.
See TURN.

A-2 Verb Strong's Number: g1994 Greek: epistrepho

Convert, Conversion:

"to turn about, turn towards" (epi, "towards" and No. 1), is used transitively, and so rendered "convert" (of causing a person to turn) in Jam 5:19, 20. Elsewhere, where the AV translates this verb, either in the Middle Voice and intransitive use, or the Passive, the RV adheres to the Middle Voice significance, and translates by "turn again," Mat 13:15; Mar 4:12; Luk 22:32; Act 3:19; 28:27.
See COME (again), Note (4), GO (again), RETURN, TURN.

B-1 Noun Strong's Number: g1995 Greek: epistrophe

Convert, Conversion:

akin to A, No. 2, "a turning about, or round, conversion," is found in Act 15:3. The word implies "a turning from and a turning to;" corresponding to these are repentance and faith; cp. "turned to God from idols" (1Th 1:9). Divine grace is the efficient cause, human agency the responding effect.
