17 that ^athe God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, ^bmay give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 ^chaving the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is ^dthe hope to which he has called you, what are ^ethe riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, ^faccording to the working of ^ghis great might 20 that he worked in Christ ^hwhen he raised him from the dead and ⁱseated him at his right hand ^jin the heavenly places, 21 ^kfar above ^lall rule and authority and power and dominion, and above ^mevery name that is named, not only in ⁿthis age but also in the one to come. 22 And ^ohe put all things under his feet and gave him as ^phead over all things to the church, 23 ^qwhich is his body, ^rthe fullness of him ^swho fills ^tall in all.

Ephesians 4:8-10

8 Therefore it says,

^u“When he ascended on high ^vhe led a host of captives,
and he gave gifts to men.” ^{▼▼The Greek word anthropoi can refer to both men and women}
9 ( ^xIn saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into ^ythe lower regions, the earth? ^{▼▼Or the lower parts of the earth?} 10 He who descended is the one who also ^aaascended ^abfar above all the heavens, that he might ^acfill all things.)

1 Peter 1:3
