Ephesians 4:20 — Greek Interlinear

Church Fathers on Ephesians 4:20

“But ye did not so learn Christ,” he continues, “if so be that you heard Him, and were taught in Him even as truth is in Jesus.” The expression, “If so be that you heard Him,” is not that of one doubting, but of one even strongly affirming: as he also speaks elsewhere, “If so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you.” 2 Thessalonians 1:6 That is to say, It was not for these purposes that “ye learned Christ.”
