. . . we must also point out that nowhere in the Galatian
epistle does Paul say that all his revelations from God were going to be
confined to Scripture. A parallel situation occurs in his dealings with the
Ephesians. In Acts 20:25-31 Paul explains that he was with the Ephesians for
three years. He says that during this time he preached “the whole counsel of God”
to them. Yet in Ephesians 3:2-3 Paul says, “Surely you have heard about the
administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the
mystery made known to me be revelation, as I have already written briefly.”
Here Paul is speaking about the same kind of revelations he received in
Gal. 1:12, yet he adds that he has only written briefly about these
revelations to the Ephesians. We can only conclude that not all of Paul’s
divine revelations were confined to Scripture. (Robert A. Sungenis, "Pont/Counterpoint:
