Ephesians 4:8-14

Ephesians 4:8-14 CSB

For it says: When he ascended on high, he took the captives captive; he gave gifts to people. , But what does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower parts of the earth? , The one who descended is also the one who ascended far above all the heavens, to fill all things. And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into maturity with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness. Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit.
