Where are the mysteries Paul refers to revealed?

Paul's epistles, or letters, are where these mysteries are revealed. They are not found in the Gospels, the Old Testament, or for the most part in the book of Acts. These revelations come through Paul's epistles as the revelation of all these things.

Les teaches that these mysteries are not in the Gospels, not in the Old Testament, and not even in the book of Acts for the most part. Instead, they come throughout Paul's epistles, which he prefers to call letters. In 1 Corinthians 4:1, Paul calls himself and others ministers of Christ and stewards, or managers, of the mysteries of God. Les explains that these are revelations never referred to anywhere else in Scripture—the revelation of all these things that Paul refers to in the mysteries. He also notes that stewards are required to be faithful.

1 Corinthians 4:1

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
