Mnemoneuo. - This is a word very characteristic of the apostle Paul. He uses it again in Acts 20:35,
seven times in the Church Epistles and three times in Hebrews.
ACTS.-
`Therefore ... remember ... night and day' (Acts 20:31).
EPISTLE.-
`With labour and travail night and day' (2 Thess. 3:8).
The association of night and day as an indication of continuance is a characteristic expression of Paul.
He uses the combination seven times (Acts 26:7; 1 Thess. 2:9; 3:10; 2 Thess. 3:8; 1 Tim. 5:5; 2 Tim.
1:3). The other epistles do not use the expression.
ACTS.-
`I ceased not to warn every one' (Acts 20:31).
EPISTLE.-
`Warning every man, and teaching every man' (Col. 1:28).
This word noutheteo, `to warn', occurs in seven passages, all of them in Paul's epistles. It occurs
nowhere else except in Acts 20:31, where it is Paul who is speaking.
ACTS.-
`An inheritance among all them which are sanctified' (Acts 20:32).
EPISTLE.-
`The inheritance of the saints in light' (Col. 1:12).
ACTS.-
`I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel' (Acts 20:33).
EPISTLE.-
`Neither ... used we ... a cloke of covetousness' (1 Thess. 2:5).
This is a characteristic attitude of the apostle Paul.
ACTS.-
`These hands have ministered unto my necessities' (Acts 20:34).
EPISTLE.-
`We ... labour, working with our own hands' (1 Cor. 4:11,12).
ACTS.-
`These hands have ministered unto my necessities' (Acts 20:34).
EPISTLE.-
`Distributing to the necessity of saints' (Rom. 12:13).
