Study note

Setting — The author addresses a community of believers immediately after affirming God's protection and before declaring Christ's eternal consistency.

The words — ἡγουμένων (hēgoumenōn) translates literally to "leading" or "those in charge," while Μνημονεύετε (Mnēmoneuete) means "do remember."

The thread — This directive parallels 1 Thessalonians 5:12's call to acknowledge diligent leaders, Hebrews 13:17's command to submit to those who watch over souls, and Philippians 3:17's instruction to observe those who walk according to a set pattern.

Why it lands — The text commands readers to recall past teachers, examine the results of their conduct, and copy their trust in God.

The Greek words

King James Version

Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
