OET (OET-LV) if surely you_all_heard him and you_all_were_taught in him, as the_truth is in the Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa),
OET (OET-RV) If you had heard him and listened to his teaching, you would have heard the truth from Yeshua:
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / irony
εἴ γε αὐτὸν ἠκούσατε καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ ἐδιδάχθητε
if surely him ˱you_all˲_heard and in him ˱you_all˲_/were/_taught

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐν αὐτῷ ἐδιδάχθητε

as is /the/_truth in ¬the Jesus
See the UST. Alternate translation: [as Jesus teaches us the true way to live] or [as everything about Jesus is true]
