10 He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
10 And the One who climbed down is the One who climbed back up, up to highest heaven. He handed out gifts above and below, filled heaven with his gifts,
10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)
10 And the same one who descended is the one who ascended higher than all the heavens, so that he might fill the entire universe with himself.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ephesians 4:10
Commentary on Ephesians 4:7-16
(Read Ephesians 4:7-16)
Unto every believer is given some gift of grace, for their mutual help. All is given as seems best to Christ to bestow upon every one. He received for them, that he might give to them, a large measure of gifts and graces; particularly the gift of the Holy Ghost. Not a mere head knowledge, or bare acknowledging Christ to be the Son of God, but such as brings trust and obedience. There is a fulness in Christ, and a measure of that fulness given in the counsel of God to every believer; but we never come to the perfect measure till we come to heaven. God's children are growing, as long as they are in this world; and the Christian's growth tends to the glory of Christ. The more a man finds himself drawn out to improve in his station, and according to his measure, all that he has received, to the spiritual good of others, he may the more certainly believe that he has the grace of sincere love and charity rooted in his heart.
