Ephesians 1:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and domination, and every [a]Name, that is named, not in this world only, but also in that that is to come,
22 [b]And hath made all things subject under his feet, and hath given him over all things to be the [c]head to the Church,
23 Which is his body, even the [d]fullness of him that filleth all in all things.

- Ephesians 1:21 Everything whatsoever it be, or above all things be they of never such power or excellency.
- Ephesians 1:22 That we should not think that that excellent glory of Christ is a thing wherewith we have nought to do, he witnesseth, that he was appointed of God the Father the head of all the Church, and therefore the body must be joined to his head, which otherwise should be a maimed thing without the members: which notwithstanding is not of necessity (seeing that the Church is rather quickeneth and sustained by the only virtue of Christ, so far off is it, that he needeth the fullness thereof) but of the infinite goodwill and pleasure of God, who vouchsafeth to join us to his Son.
- Ephesians 1:22 Insomuch that there is nothing but is subject to him.
- Ephesians 1:23 For the love of Christ is so great toward the Church, that though he do fully satisfy all with all things, yet he esteemeth himself but a maimed and unperfect head, unless he have the Church joined to him as his body.
