What did Paul do with the doctrines of grace God revealed to him?

Paul carried the doctrines of grace revealed to him primarily to the Gentiles, not to Israel alone as Moses did. He first went to the Jew and the synagogue, but when they rejected the message, he turned to the Gentiles, giving them the grace of God he had received.
