Galatians 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. And now, when the standard of Christ is unfurled, have Christians become cowardly? Are there none among them who can step forward and say, "Here am I: send me." I do not believe there is such a cowardly spirit among us. But there is what is generally called a retiring disposition. I am scarcely able to make nice distinctions. In the day of battle if the commanding officer found one of his men in the rear rank on account of his modest and retiring disposition, I think he would tingle it out of him with a few lashes on his back. (C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.WEB: They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do. |
