Ephesians 3:2

Context
3:2 if indeed 1  you have heard of the stewardship 2  of God’s grace that was given to me for you,

Ephesians 6:3

Context
6:3that it may go 3  well with you and that you will live 4  a long time on the earth. 5 

1 sn If indeed. The author is not doubting whether his audience has heard, but is rather using provocative language (if indeed) to engage his audience in thinking about the magnificence of God’s grace. However, in English translation, the apodosis (“then”-clause) does not come until v. 13, leaving the protasis (“if”-clause) dangling. Eph 3:2-7 constitute one sentence in Greek.

2 tn Or “administration,” “dispensation,” “commission.”

3 tn Grk “be.”

4 tn Grk “will be.”

5 sn A quotation from Deut 5:16.
