Efesus 3:4-6

3:4 When reading this, ¹  you will be able to ²  understand my insight into this secret ³  of Christ. 3:5 Now this secret ⁴  was not disclosed to people ⁵  in former ⁶  generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by ⁷  the Spirit, 3:6 namely, that through the gospel ⁸  the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members ⁹  of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.

[3:4]  ¹ tn Grk “which, when reading.”

[3:4]  ² tn Grk “you are able to.”

[3:4]  ³ tn Or “mystery.”

[3:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “which.” Verse 5 is technically a relative clause, subordinate to the thought of v. 4.

[3:5]  ⁵ tn Grk “the sons of men” (a Semitic idiom referring to human beings, hence, “people”).

[3:5]  ⁶ tn Grk “other.”

[3:5]  ⁷ tn Or “in.”

[3:6]  ⁸ sn The phrase through the gospel is placed last in the sentence in Greek for emphasis. It has been moved forward for clarity.

[3:6]  ⁹ tn Grk “and fellow members.”
