<p>3:2- See on Eph. 4:7.</p><p><i>If indeed you have heard</i>- This doesn't mean that they had not heard of the fact that Paul by God's grace was sharing with the Gentiles the news of salvation. He means rather 'If you have really appreciated', and he will go on in :16-19 to pray that they will be helped by the Spirit towards such an appreciation. 1 Pet. 2:3 has a similar idea: &quot;If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious&quot;. There was no doubt that they had heard that the Lord was gracious. It was a question of appreciation. </p><p><i>Of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you</i>- Paul surely alludes to how he was the especially commissioned apostle to the Gentiles, with the role of taking God's grace to them.</p>
