If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
If in fact you gave ear to him, and were given teaching in him, even as what is true is made clear in Jesus:
If indeed ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
If so be that ye have heard him - Ειγε, Seeing that, since indeed, ye have heard us proclaim his eternal truth; we have delivered it to you as we received it from Jesus.
If so be that ye have heard him - If you have listened attentively to his instructions, and learned the true nature of his religion. There may be a slight and delicate doubt implied here whether they had attentively listened to his instructions. Doddridge, however, renders it, "Seeing ye have heard him;" compare notes on Ephesians 3:2.
And have been taught by him - By his Spirit, or by the ministers whom he had appointed.
As the truth is in Jesus - If you have learned the true nature of his religion as he himself taught it. What the truth was which the Lord Jesus taught, or what his principles implied, the apostle proceeds to state in the following verses.
4:21 Seeing ye have heard him - Teaching you inwardly by his Spirit.As the truth is in Jesus - According to his own gospel.
