This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

26. ηὐδόκησαν of men; cf. 2Co 5:8; 2Co 12:10; 1Th 2:8; 1Th 3:1; 2Th 2:12; subst. Luk 2:14 (v.l.); Rom 10:1; Php 1:15 only.

Μακ. καὶ Ἀχ. The provinces are named to include all the Churches in them; cf. 2Co 9:2 f. The Churches of Galatia are also named in this connexion 1Co 16:1; cf. the list of companions Act 20:4.

κοινωνίαν τινὰ ποιής. ‘To make a contribution’ Rutherford. Contribution is rather too cold a word. κοιν. = act of partnership or fellowship; cf. 2Co 9:13 where eh εἰς πάντας brings out the fuller meaning: so here τινα = a kind of partnership to help the poor etc. The act united the Gentile Churches in fellowship with each other and with the Church in Jerusalem whose poor they were helping; cf. also 2Co 8:4.
