The verse in 1 Timothy had the wrong Greek word for hundreds of years that became "godly edifying" in the KJV! And part of Paul's ministry was obviously spoken and I never got the benefit of any of that.
At the end of the day, though, I have to admit that I didn't get it from Lee's doctrines. I got it by praying over the verses that Lee said were important but it came straight from the Lord through Paul's writings.

I don't disagree with the idea that there is something called "God's economy" in the New Testament. But Lee's definition of that goes much further, I think, than what the NT states on the matter. I think the NT did "make plain" what the economy of the mystery is. And it includes, as a central piece of it,
love, as you have pointed out. All I'm saying is that Lee's "interpreted word" version of "God's economy" is one which differs from the NT in which Paul did, in fact, "make plain" what it is.
