Senses in use

  1. Recall or keep a matter in mind · dominant

    The present active forms occur both in reports of recollection and in appeals to retain something in view. In Matthew 16:9 the APB renders a question about the five loaves and the baskets taken; in Galatians 2:10 it renders the request concerning the poor; in John 16:21 it describes a woman no longer recalling her pressure after childbirth; and in Revelation 2:5 it renders an address to recall from where the hearer has fallen. The aorist active form in Revelation 18:5 has God as subject and crimes as the matter remembered.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly uses “remember” or “remembering,” including recollection of words, prior events, hardship, and a person's condition. It also renders the form in Hebrews 11:15 as “thinking of”; Such variation does not establish separate lexical senses.
