6 um [só] Deus, e Pai de todos, que é acima de todos, por meio de todos, e em todos.

7 Mas a graça foi dada a cada um de nós conforme a medida do dom de Cristo.

8 Por isso diz: Quando ele subiu ao alto, levou cativo o cativeiro, e deu dons às pessoas.

9 (O que significa este “ele subiu”, senão que ele também antes tinha descido às partes mais baixas da terra?)
