Exegesis
The genitive participle phrase tōn asthenountōn {τῶν ἀσθενούντων | tōn astheneún-tōn} denotes “the weak” as beneficiaries.
The second infinitive takes the object tōn logōn {τῶν λόγων | tōn lógōn} ‘the words’, defined by the genitive tou kuriou Iēsou {τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ | toû kyríou Iēsou} ‘of the Lord Jesus’, grounding the exhortation in Jesus’ teaching. A second hoti introduces the content of that saying.

In context — Acts 20:35
I have shown you all things, that in this way by laboring it is necessary to help the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus , that He Himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
