Ephesians 4:9

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

But what does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower parts of the earth?

(In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?

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

(Now this expression, “He ascended,” what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?

(What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions?

Notice that it says “he ascended.” This clearly means that Christ also descended to our lowly world.

Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
