Ephesians 4:3-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

3. and make an effort to preserve the unity of the Spirit with the peace that ties you together.

4. You are one body and one spirit, just as God also called you in one hope.

5. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6. and one God and Father of all, who is over all, through all, and in all.

7. God has given his grace to each one of us measured out by the gift that is given by Christ.

8. That’s why scripture says, When he climbed up to the heights, he captured prisoners, and he gave gifts to people.

9. What does the phrase "he climbed up" mean if it doesn’t mean that he had first gone down into the lower regions, the earth?
