Ephesians 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.

¹ tn Grk “which, when reading.”

² tn Grk “you are able to.”

³ tn Or “mystery.”

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

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

⁶ tn Grk “other.”

⁷ tn Or “in.”

⁷ sn The phrase through the gospel is placed last in the sentence in Greek for emphasis. It has been moved forward for clarity.

⁸ tn Grk “and fellow members.”
