Ephesians 4:7-12
7But agrace was given bto each one of us caccording to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8Therefore it says,d“When he ascended on high ehe led a host of captives,
and he gave gifts to men.” ▼
▼The Greek word anthropoi can refer to both men and women
9( gIn saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into hthe lower regions, the earth? ▼
▼Or the lower parts of the earth?
10He who descended is the one who also jascended kfar above all the heavens, that he might lfill all things.) 11And mhe gave the napostles, the prophets, the oevangelists, the pshepherds ▼▼Or pastors
and teachers, ▼▼Or the shepherd-teachers
12 sto equip the saints for the work of ministry, for tbuilding up uthe body of Christ,
