Context of Ephesians 4:6
4There is one body and one Ruach, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling; 5one Lord, one faith, one immersion; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7But to each one of us grace was given in keeping with the measure of Messiah’s gift. 8Therefore it says, “When He went up on high, He led captive a troop of captives and gave gifts to his people.”
