How should the plain passages about the mystery be handled?
The plain passages about the mystery should be accepted just as they read, without twisting or manipulating them. They are to be left exactly where they sit in Scripture, because they are as plain as day and require no clever interpretation or alteration.
Les explains that the plain passages about the mystery, such as Ephesians 3:9 and Colossians 1:24-25, should be handled by simply leaving them right where they sit. He says they are as plain as day; you don't have to twist them or fool around with them. The mystery was hid in God from the beginning of the world, and God created all things by Jesus Christ. Paul was made a minister according to the dispensation of God given to him for the church, which is His body, to fulfill the word of God.
