A compound Greek verb meaning to remind again, to call back to memory, to bring to renewed remembrance. From epi (upon/again) and mimnesco (to remember). Used in Romans 15:15 where Paul explains he has written "quite boldly on some points, as if to remind you of them again."
Paul's pastoral strategy in Romans 15:15 reveals a profound truth about Christian teaching: the most important things often need to be said again. The apostle does not apologize for repeating; he explains that reminder is essential to formation. Peter says the same: "I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them" (2 Peter 1:12). The Christian life is not primarily about discovering new truths but about being renewed in the truths already received. Memory is a spiritual discipline — the regular recalling of grace, covenant, and gospel that keeps faith alive in the face of forgetfulness and drift.
