Translation for Translators
4:7
T4T
Christ has generously given to each one of us spiritual gifts, just like he decided to give them.
4:8
T4T
When Christ gave gifts to his people, it was similar to what the Psalmist said about God receiving tribute money from those whom he had conquered, When he ascended to heaven, he gave as gifts to people the things that he had taken from the people whom he captured:
4:9
T4T
The words ‘he ascended’ certainly imply/indicate [RHQ] that Christ had also previously descended to the earth.
4:10
T4T
Christ, who descended to earth, is also the one who ascended to the most exalted position in heaven, in order that he might show his power [MTY] throughout the universe.
4:11
T4T
He appointed some people to be apostles. He appointed some people to be ◄prophets/ones who reveal messages that come directly from God►. He appointed some people to be ◄evangelists/ones whose work is to tell others the message about Christ►. He appointed some people to lead and teach the congregations.
4:12
T4T
He appointed all of these in order that they would prepare God’s people to do God’s work, so that all the people who belong to Christ [MET] might become spiritually mature.
4:13
T4T
He wants all of us believers to be united because we all believe in the Son of God (OR, the man who was also God) and because we all know him. He wants us to become spiritually mature; that is, he wants us to be ◄perfect/all that God wants us to be►, just like Christ was ◄perfect/all that God wanted him to be►.
