The passage in its setting

Meeting God in a verse begins with hearing it where it lives, in the flow of Ephesians 4. Read it slowly, and let the focal verse settle into its own context.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
