Mention
Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]
"remembrance, mention" (akin to mimnesko, "to remind, remember"), is always used in connection with prayer, and translated "mention" in Romans 1:9; Ephesians 1:16; 1—Thessalonians 1:2; Philemon 1:4 , in each of which it is preceded by the verb to make; "rememberance" in Philippians 1:3; 1—Thessalonians 3:6; 2—Timothy 1:3 . Some mss. have it in Romans 12:13 , instead of chreiais, "necessities." See Remembrance. Cp. mneme, "memory, remembrance," 2—Peter 1:15 .
which most usually means "to call to mind, remember," signifies "to make mention of," in Hebrews 11:22 . See Remember.
