SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:10

Solamente nos pidieron que nos acordásemos de los pobres; lo mismo que fui también solícito en hacer.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Galatians 2:10

Verse 10. Only they would that we should remember the poor] They saw plainly that God had as expressly called Barnabas and me to go to the Gentiles as he had called them to preach to the Jews; and they did not attempt to give us any new injunctions, only wished us to remember the poor in Judea; but this was a thing to which we were previously disposed.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 10. Only they would that we should remember the poor , etc..] Not in a spiritual sense, as some have thought, though these the apostle was greatly mindful of; but properly and literally the poor as to the things of this world; and may design the poor in general, everywhere, in the several churches where they should be called to minister, and particularly the poor saints at Jerusalem; who were become such, either through the frequent calamities of the nation, and a dearth or scarcity of provisions among them, and which affected the whole country; or rather through the persecutions of their countrymen, who plundered them of their goods for professing the name of Christ; or it may be through their having given up all their substance into one common stock and fund, as they did at first, and which was now exhausted, and that in a great measure by assisting out of it the preachers who first spread the Gospel among the Gentiles; so that it was but just that they should make some return unto them, and especially for the spiritual favours they received from them, as the Gospel, and the ministers of it, which first went out of Jerusalem: the “remembering” of them not only intends giving them actual assistance according to their abilities, which was very small, but mentioning their case to the several Gentile churches, and stirring them up to a liberal contribution: the same which I also was forward to do ; as abundantly appears from his epistles to the churches, and especially from his two epistles to the Corinthians. Now since the apostles at Jerusalem desired nothing else but this, and said not a word concerning the observance of the rites and ceremonies of the law, and neither found fault with, nor added to the Gospel the apostle communicated to them, it was a clear case that there was an entire agreement between them, in principle and practice, and that he did not receive his Gospel from them.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-10 - Observe the apostle's faithfulness in giving a full account of the doctrine he had preached among the Gentiles, and was still resolved to preach, that of Christianity, free from all mixture of Judaism. Thi doctrine would be ungrateful to many, yet he was not afraid to own it His care was, lest the success of his past labours should be lessened or his future usefulness be hindered. While we simply depend upon God for success to our labours, we should use every proper caution to remove mistakes, and against opposers. There are things which ma lawfully be complied with, yet, when they cannot be done withou betraying the truth, they ought to be refused. We must not give plac to any conduct, whereby the truth of the gospel would be reflecte upon. Though Paul conversed with the other apostles, yet he did no receive any addition to his knowledge, or authority, from them Perceiving the grace given to him, they gave unto him and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, whereby they acknowledged that he wa designed to the honour and office of an apostle as well as themselves They agreed that these two should go to the heathen, while the continued to preach to the Jews; judging it agreeable to the mind of Christ, so to divide their work. Here we learn that the gospel is no ours, but God's; and that men are but the keepers of it; for this we are to praise God. The apostle showed his charitable disposition, an how ready he was to own the Jewish converts as brethren, though man would scarcely allow the like favour to the converted Gentiles; but mere difference of opinion was no reason to him why he should not hel them. Herein is a pattern of Christian charity, which we should exten to all the disciples of Christ.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

10. Only. With only this stipulation.

We should remember (mnhmoneuwmen). The only instance in N.T. of this verb in the sense of beneficent care. No instance in LXX. In Psalm ix. 12, there is the thought but not the word.

The poor (twn ptwcwn). The poor Christians of Palestine. Comp. Acts xxiv. 17; Rom. xv. 26, 27; 1 Cor. xvi. 3; 2 Cor. ix. 1. For the word, see on Matt. v. 3. In LXX ordinarily of those who are oppressors, or of those who are quiet in contrast with the lawless.

The same which (o - auto touto). Lit. which, this very thing. The expression is peculiarly emphatic, and brings out the contrast between Judaising hostility and Paul's spirit of loving zeal. Rev. which very thing.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

2:10 {Only} (monon). One item was emphasized. {We should remember} (mnemoneuwmen). Present active subjunctive, "that we should keep on remembering." {Which very thing} (ho--auto touto). Repetition of relative and demonstrative, tautology, "which this very thing." In fact Barnabas and Saul had done it before (#Ac 11:30). It was complete victory for Paul and Barnabas. Paul passes by the second public meeting and the letters to Antioch (#Ac 15:6-29) and passes on to Peter's conduct in Antioch.
