[2] {new}
Here the "new man" is not the individual believer but the church,
considered as the body of Christ in the sense of
# Eph 1:22,23 1Co 12:12,13 Col 3:10,11
» See Note "Heb 12:23"

[1] {That the Gentiles}
That the Gentiles were to be saved was no mystery
# Ro 9:24-33 10:19-21
The mystery "hid in God" was the divine purpose to make of Jew and
Gentile a wholly new thing--"the church, which is his [Christ's] body,"
formed by the baptism with the Holy Spirit
# 1Co 12:12,13
and in which the earthly distinction of Jew and Gentile disappears
# Eph 2:14,15 Col 3:10,11
The revelation of this mystery, which was foretold, but not
explained by Christ
# Mt 16:18
was committed to Paul. In his writings alone we find the doctrine,
position, walk, and destiny of the church.

[1] {gave} [2] {some}
In
# 1Co 12:8-28
the Spirit is seen as enduing the members of the body of Christ
with spiritual gifts, or enablements for a varied service; here
certain Spirit-endued men, viz. apostles, prophets, evangelists,
pastors, and teachers, are themselves the gifts whom the
glorified Christ bestows upon His body the church. In
Corinthians the gifts are spiritual enablements for specific
service; in Ephesians the gifts are men who have such
enablements.
[2]
The Lord, in bestowing the gifted men, determines, providentially (e.g.
# Ac 11:22-26
or directly through the Spirit (e.g)
# Ac 13:1,2 16:6,7
the places of their service. "Some" (churches or places) need one gift,
as, e.g. evangelist; "some" (churches or places) need rather a pastor or
teacher. Absolutely nothing in Christ's service is left to mere human
judgment or self-choosing. Even an apostle was not permitted to choose
his place of service
# Ac 16:7,8
