Mneia is the remembering or mention of people, especially in prayer and thanksgiving.

The attested use describes bringing people to mind or mentioning them, most often within prayer and thanksgiving; it can also describe a continuing positive remembrance joined with desire to see others.

   In 1 Thessalonians 3:6, the accusative singular form occurs with faith, love, and longing to see one another; the APB renders the clause "you always have good remembrance of us."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "making mention," "remember," and "making remembrance" in prayer-related clauses, and "good remembrance" or "every remembrance" where the context concerns ongoing regard. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these variations present the clauses rather than fixed equivalents for the term.
