He said: “To me, a man less than the least of all holy ones, this undeserved kindness was given, that I should declare to the nations the good news about the unfathomable riches of the Christ and should make men see how the sacred secret is administered which has from the indefinite past been hidden in God, who created all things. ” ​ — Ephesians 3: 8, 9.
Viņš teica: ” Man, vismazākajam starp visiem svētajiem, dota šī žēlastība pagānu tautām pasludināt Kristus neizdibināmo bagātību un rādīt, kā ir piepildījies lielais noslēpums, kas no laiku laikiem bija apslēpts visu lietu radītājā Dievā. ”
