Commentary

Commentary on Ephesians 3:7

Theological / Devotional

Minister. Gr. diakonos (see on Mark 9:35). The word suggests activity, subordination, and service.

Grace. Here, a specific gift for the purpose of fulfilling his ministry and apostleship (see on Rom. 3:24). Paul was ever grateful for his privilege and call.

Effectual working. Compare on ch. 1:19. Paul’s energetic labor was the result of a power that had been given to him. The divine gift of grace was accompanied by a divine energy.
