Exegesis
The relative clause introduced by en hais {ἐν αἷς | en haîs} ‘in which’ refers back to the two letters collectively and introduces a purpose clause.
The prepositional phrase en hypomnēsei {ἐν ὑπομνήσει | en hypomnḗsei} ‘by way of remembrance’ specifies the means by which the stirring occurs. The single Greek sentence is rendered as two sentences in English to maintain clarity while preserving original emphasis.
