 Here it will be observed that the prophets are most evidently those of the New Testament, since the communications made to them are put in contrast with the degree of light granted in the previous ages. (Ephesians 3 by J.N. Darby)
 what was the first in counsel is the last in revelation. (Ephesians 3 by W. Kelly)
 It is remarkable that the mystery, though revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the power of the Holy Ghost, was not revealed by them. It was revealed by Paul alone. (Ephesians 3 by W. Kelly)
 There were inspired men, not apostles, who were prophets. To both of these it was now revealed; but we cannot say that “prophetic scriptures” in Romans 16 extend beyond the writings of Paul, which develop this blessed secret of God. (Remarks on Ephesians 3:1-13 by W. Kelly)
