“That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:”
That you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles — the three-fold ground of authority (prophets, Jesus, apostles) establishes the hierarchical continuity of revelation. Remember (mimnēskō) invokes the redemptive history that false teachers would distort. The commandment delivered through apostles carries the same binding force as Old Testament prophecy.
