Commentary on Galatians 2:10

Theological / Devotional

Remember the poor. This doubtless refers to poor Christians in Judea. Two reasons are evident for this request. The first, of course, is the need. The second is a desire to prevent alienation of the new Gentile converts from the Jewish Christians. The fact that he has been formally accepted by the leaders of the church as apostle to the Gentiles will not alter his attitude toward his kinsmen, the Jews.

I also was forward. Paul zealously honored this request, making repeated appeals to the Gentile churches of Macedonia and Greece for liberal contributions (see Rom. 15:25-27; 1 Cor. 16:3 ; 2 Cor. 8).
