OET (OET-LV) The one having_come_down is himself also the one having_gone_up above all the heavens, in_order_that he_may_fill all the things.

OET (OET-RV) So the one who descended is the very one who also ascended above all the heavens so that he could fill all locations.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–16: Believers are united in Christ

In the previous sections, Paul taught the important truths of the Christian faith. In this section, Paul showed how those truths should affect the way we live. He urged the Ephesian Christians to behave in the way that would keep their unity. He explained in detail the basis of this unity. He also explained that Christ gives believers power to do different tasks so that the church may become strong and mature. Mature believers should no longer be influenced by false teaching. Instead, they will proclaim the truth, and the church, with Christ as its head, will grow as it should and become strong.

Here are some other examples for a heading for this section:

Unity of the body of Christ

Christ’s gifts to the church

Live in unity, using God’s gifting to strengthen believers

Paul urges the Ephesians to live a life of unity in Christ

Believers in Christ should live in unity, strengthening each other

Paragraph 4:7–16

In 4:4–6 Paul talked about the things that unite Christians. These are things that we have in common. But in 4:7 he talked about special abilities that some Christians have and that others do not have. We all have the same Spirit, we all worship the same Lord, and so on. But to each of us, Christ has given different special abilities.

4:10a

He who descended

He who descended: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as He who descended is literally “the one having descended himself.” The pronoun He refers to Christ. It is an emphatic form. Try to translate this clause in a way that shows this emphasis.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

And the same one who descended (NLT)

So the one who came down (GNT)

descended: See how you translated descended in 4:9b.

4:10b

is the very One who ascended above all the heavens,

is the very One who ascended: The very One means “the same one.”

ascended: The verb ascended means “to go up.” It has the opposite meaning of “descended” in 4:9b and 4:10a.

above all the heavens: The word heavens here refers to the sky. It contrasts with “earthly regions” in 4:9b. Paul is using figurative language to say that Jesus is superior to any created being. Be careful not to translate heavens in a way that sounds as if Christ were in a higher place than God.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

is the same one who went into the highest heaven (CEV)

is the same One who went up above all the sky (NCV)

4:10c

in order to fill all things.

in order to fill all things: Most commentators believe that this refers to Christ being present everywhere in the universe.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

to fill the whole universe with his presence (GNT)

so that he might fill the entire universe with himself (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

ἵνα πληρώσῃ τὰ πάντα

in_order_that ˱he˲_˓may˒_fill (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὁ καταβάς αὐτός ἐστίν καί ὁ ἀναβάς ὑπεράνω πάντων τῶν οὐρανῶν ἵνα πληρώσῃ τά παντᾶ)

Alternate translation: [so that he might be working powerfully everywhere]

πληρώσῃ

˱he˲_˓may˒_fill

Alternate translation: [he might complete] or [he might satisfy]

OET (OET-RV) So the one who descended is the very one who also ascended above all the heavens so that he could fill all locations.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
