Greek Commentary for Galatians 2:10
One item was emphasized. [source]
Present active subjunctive, “that we should keep on remembering.” Which very thing (οαυτο τουτο hȯ̇auto touto). Repetition of relative and demonstrative, tautology, “which this very thing.” In fact Barnabas and Saul had done it before (Acts 11:30). It was complete victory for Paul and Barnabas. Paul passes by the second public meeting and the letters to Antioch (Acts 15:6-29) and passes on to Peter‘s conduct in Antioch. [source]

With only this stipulation. [source]
The only instance in N.T. of this verb in the sense of beneficent care. No instance in lxx. In Psalm 9:12, there is the thought but not the word. [source]
The poor Christians of Palestine. Comp. Acts 24:17; Romans 15:26, Romans 15:27; 1 Corinthians 16:3; 2 Corinthians 9:1. For the word, see on Matthew 5:3. In lxx ordinarily of those who are oppressors, or of those who are quiet in contrast with the lawless. [source]
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. [source]

Put thus because it was unknown to the Romans. For this sense of κοινωνιαν Koinéōnian see 2 Corinthians 8:4; 2 Corinthians 9:13. For the poor among the saints (εις τους πτωχους των αγιων eis tous ptōchous tōn hagiōn). Partitive genitive. Not all there were poor, but Acts 4:32-5:11; Acts 6:1-6; Acts 11:29.; Galatians 2:10 prove that many were. [source]

The sentence is elliptical: “only we must wait,” or “only it must work in secret, until he that letteth,” etc. For a similar instance see Galatians 2:10. The collocation of A.V. is wrong. [source]
