Ephesians 4:9

King James Version

⁹(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

²⁴But God raised him from the dead,^(A) freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.^(B)

²⁴Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
