Remember ( μνημονευε ). "Keep in mind," as in 2:5.

Therefore ( ουν ). Resumptive and coordinating as in 1:19; 2:5.

Thou hast received ( ειληφας ). Perfect active indicative of λαμβανω, "as a permanent deposit" (Vincent).

Didst hear ( ηκουσας ). First aorist active indicative, the act of hearing at the time.

And keep it ( κα τηρε ). Present active imperative of τηρεω, "hold on to what thou hast."

And repent ( κα μετανοησον ). First aorist active imperative of μετανοεω, "Turn at once."

If therefore thou shalt not watch ( εαν ουν μη γρηγορησηις ). Condition of third class with εαν μη and the first aorist (ingressive) active subjunctive of γρηγορεω, "if then thou do not wake up."

I will come ( ηξω ). Certainly future active here, though probably aorist subjunctive in 2:25.

As a thief ( ως κλεπτης ). As Jesus had already said (Mt 24:43; Lu 12:39), as Paul had said (1Th 5:2), as Peter had said (2Pe 3:10), as Jesus will say again (Re 16:15).

What hour ( ποιαν ωραν ). A rare classical idiom (accusative) surviving in the Koine rather than the genitive of time, somewhat like Joh 4:52; Ac 20:16 (Robertson, Grammar, p. 470f.). Indirect question with ποιαν.
