ACTS 10:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.”
and said, 'Cornelius, God has heard your prayers and remembered your gifts to the poor.'—the angel's word repeats the theological assurance (10:4): Cornelius's piety is heard and remembered before God. The verb 'remembered' (emnēsthē) suggests God's covenant fidelity; Cornelius is brought within the orbit of God's remembering people. His alms are 'anamnesis' before God—memorial offerings.
