Commentary

Commentary on Ephesians 3:4

Theological / Devotional

Understand. Or, “perceive,” “comprehend with the intellect.”

Knowledge. Or, “insight,” “understanding.” Paul is not asserting his own intelligence, but the fact that God had granted him certain insight that could be verified by the spiritual-minded readers of his letter. He is assuring such readers that he was fully informed on the matters about which he was writing, and thus confidence in him would not be misplaced. Every witness for God may have this conviction that his message is true and valid.

Mystery. Gr. musterion (see on Rom. 11:25; cf. on Eph. 1:9).
