Ephesians 4:8
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”
In context
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
7 Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”
9 What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth?
10 He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.
