Ephesians 4:9-11

New Living Translation

⁹ Notice that it says “he ascended.” This clearly means that Christ also descended to our lowly world.^{[a] 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.

¹¹ Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.
