Galatians 1-2 is a passage that revolves around the Apostle Paul making a defence of his apostleship and for the gospel that he preached (salvation by grace alone). But in the midst of it there is one line, easy to fly right past, but important none the less. Paul states in 2:10 that, after conferring with the other Apostles, and being in agreement about the message being preached the others asked only one further thing. That one thing was to remember the poor, which Paul was happy to do.
Care for the poor is not what saves us, but it is certainly what those who are saved do. Salvation and care for the poor are distinct things, but they stand together and cannot be separated.
