29.10 · Memory and Recall · Recalling from Memory
to remind, to cause to remember, to cause to think about again to cause to recall and to think about again In 2TI 1:5 the phrase ὑπόμνησιν λαμβάνω may be interpreted as a causative passive phrase (compare λαμβάνω in 90.63 and 90.85), for example, ὑπόμνησιν λαβὼν τῆς ἐν σοὶ ἀνυποκρίτου πίστεως ‘I have been reminded of your sincere faith,’ but it may also be appropriately rendered as an instance of active remembering and accordingly translated as ‘I remember the sincere faith that you have.’
It is also possible to interpret ὑπόμνησις in 2PE 1:13 as meaning simply ‘to remember,’ and therefore one may translate as ‘to stir you up as you remember.’
