5 There is one Lord. There is one faith and one baptism.
6 There is one God and Father of all. He is over everything. He is through everything. He is in everything.
7 But each one of us has received a gift of grace, just as Christ wanted us to have it.
8 That is why Scripture says, "When he went up to his place on high, he led a line of prisoners. He gave gifts to people." (Psalm 68:18)
9 What does "he went up" mean? It can only mean that he also came down to the lower, earthly places.
10 The One who came down is the same as the One who went up higher than all the heavens. He did it in order to fill all of creation.
11 He is the One who gave some the gift to be apostles. He gave some the gift to be prophets. He gave some the gift of preaching the good news. And he gave some the gift to be pastors and teachers.
