The attested uses chiefly concern recalling a past word, event, obedience, or period of suffering; they also describe causing another person to bring instruction or a gift to mind.

Senses in use

  1. Recalling a past word, event, or experience · dominant

    In Mark 11:21, the aorist passive participle introduces Peter's response about the dried fig tree; the APB renders the clause “having been reminded.” In Mark 14:72 Peter recalls Jesus' earlier word after the rooster crows, while 2 Corinthians 7:15 and Hebrews 10:32 likewise place the form with remembered obedience and former days of suffering.

  2. Prompting others to remember · common

    In 1 Corinthians 4:17, the future active form concerns Timothy bringing Paul's ways in Christ Jesus to the Corinthians' attention; the APB renders “will remind you.” In 2 Timothy 1:6, the first-person present active form introduces the appeal to fan into flame God's gift.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “remind” for the active forms in 1 Corinthians 4:17 and 2 Timothy 1:6, and “remembers,” “recall,” “having been reminded,” and “remembered” in the other verses. These renderings present the surrounding clauses rather than supplying a word-by-word alignment.
