ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ οὕτως ἐμάθετε τὸν Χριστόν
you_all but not thus learned the Messiah
The word thus refers to the way that the Gentiles live, as described in Ephesians 4:17–19. This emphasizes that what the believers learned from Christ was the opposite of that. Alternate translation: “But what you learned about the ways of Christ was not like that”
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
δὲ
but
The connecting word But introduces a contrast relationship. The sinful way the Gentiles live is in contrast to the way that Paul taught the Ephesians to live according to the truth of Jesus. Use a connecting word in your language that marks a contrast here
4:20-24 What you learned about Christ is the truth that comes from him. He gives true understanding (cp. John 14:6) and calls his people to an entirely new way of life (cp. Rom 6:3-14; 13:12-14; Col 3:8-10).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
