Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

Remember, Remembrance, Reminded:

from the older form mnaomai, in the Active Voice signifies "to remind;" in the Middle Voice, "to remind oneself of," hence, "to remember, to be mindful of;" the later form is found only in the present tense, in Hbr 2:6, "are mindful of," and Hbr 13:3, "remember;" the perfect tense in 1Cr 11:2; 2Ti 1:4 (RV, "remembering," AV, "being mindful of"), is used with a present meaning. RV variations from the AV are, in Luk 1:54, RV, "that He might remember" (AV, "in remembrance of"); 2Pe 3:2, "remember" (AV, "be mindful of"); Rev16:19 (Passive Voice), "was remembered" (AV, "came in rememberance"). The Passive Voice is used also in Act 10:31, AV and RV, "are had in remembrance."
See MINDFUL OF (to be).

(c) a clause, representing a circumstance, etc., Jhn 16:4; Act 20:31; Eph 2:11; 2Th 2:5; Rev 2:5; 3:3; in Hbr 11:22 it signifies "to make mention of."

Remember, Remembrance, Reminded:

"a remembrance" (ana, "up," or "again," and A, No. 1), is used

(a) in Christ's command in the institution of the Lord's Supper, Luk 22:19; 1Cr 11:24, 25, not "in memory of" but in an affectionate calling of the Person Himself to mind;

(b) of the "remembrance" of sins, Hbr 10:3, RV, "a remembrance" (AV, "a remembrance again;" but the prefix ana does not here signify "again"); what is indicated, in regard to the sacrifices under the Law; is not simply an external bringing to "remembrance," but an awakening of mind.
