Where did the dispensation of the grace of God given to Paul go next?

The dispensation of the grace of God given to Paul did not stop with him; it went next to the Gentiles. Paul, as the Apostle of the Gentiles, was given this dispensation, and it extended to the Gentile believers, as stated in Ephesians 3:1-2.

Les explains that in Ephesians chapter 3, verses 1 and 2, Paul identifies himself as the prisoner of Jesus Christ for the Gentiles and speaks of the dispensation of the grace of God given to him. But it did not stop there. Where did it go next? To you Gentiles. This aligns with Paul being called the Apostle of the Gentiles and inspired to write the biggest part of the New Testament. The four Gospels were Christ under the Law, but believers are not under Law; they are under Grace. Les also notes that Paul's epistles consistently appear in the same identical order in every manuscript, from Romans through Hebrews, showing the Holy Spirit's oversight so no one could fool with it.
