Ephesians4:21
21 If so be that ye have heard him , and have been taught by him , as the truth is in Jesus .
Either heard Christ speaking to you in the Gospel, Heb. 12.25. and then the sense will be the same as in the following Clause: or heard him Preached to you, and then it may refer to the outward hearing of the word.
Or Taught in him: in for by, as Col. 1.16. Heb. 1.2. and then this relates to the power of the word, and the impression made by it upon the heart, q. d. if ye have not onely heard of him by the hearing of the Ear, but have been effectually taught by the Spirit to know him, and receive his Doctrine, Isa. 54.13. Ioh. 6.45.
As it really is, and hath been taught by Christ himself both in his Doctrine and Example, viz. What is the true way of a Christian's living, as in the following verses, see Ioh. 17.17. Tit. 1.1.
