Ephesians 4:6

Read in context

Ephesians 4:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;

5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

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

7 Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

8 This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”
