This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
According to the dispensation of God (kata tēn oikonomian tou theou). “According to the economy of God.” An old word from oikonomeō, to be a house steward (oikos, nemō) as in Luk 16:2-4; 1Co 9:17; Eph 1:9; Eph 3:9. It was by God’s stewardship that Paul was made a minister of Christ.
To fulfil the word of God (plērōsai ton logon tou theou). First aorist active infinitive of purpose (plēroō), a fine phrase for a God-called preacher, to fill full or to give full scope to the Word of God. The preacher is an expert on the word of God by profession. See Paul’s ideal about preaching in 2Th 3:1.
