Ephesians 4:8 in Context — Ephesians 4

6 un seul Dieu et Père de tous, qui est au-dessus de tous, et parmi tous, et en tous.

7 Mais à chacun de nous la grâce a été donnée selon la mesure du don de Christ.

8 C’est pourquoi il est dit: Étant monté en haut, il a emmené des captifs, Et il a fait des dons aux hommes.

9 Or, que signifie: Il est monté, sinon qu’il est aussi descendu dans les régions inférieures de la terre?

10 Celui qui est descendu, c’est le même qui est monté au-dessus de tous les cieux, afin de remplir toutes choses.
