4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
7But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.
8This is why it Or God says: “When he ascended on high, he took many captives and gave gifts to his people.” Psalm 68:18
9(What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions Or the depths of the earth ?
10He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)
