The Book of Ephesians, Chapter 4, Verse 1

Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

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

(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
