Paul quotes Psalm 68:18 to point to the victory that Christ has over evil. And in this conquest Christ has spoils--and he gives these spoils of victory to his troops. These spoils are the gifts in accordance with the gift of Christ and they are for the purpose of building up to maturity. He gave spoils: to build up to maturity so that we aren't fooled but instead we grow up in love.

Ephesians

Ephesians 4:7-16

NT

esv

But grace was given to each one of us

according to the measure of Christ's gift.

actionmanner

Therefore it says, "When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men."

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

He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens,

questionanswer

that he might fill all things.)

actionpurpose

ideaexplanation

And he gave the apostles,

the prophets,

the evangelists,

the shepherds

and teachers,

to equip the saints for the work of ministry,

for building up the body of Christ,

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God,

to mature manhood,

to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

actionresult

so that we may no longer be children,

tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine,

by human cunning,

by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

Rather, speaking the truth in love,

negativepositive

we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head,

into Christ,

from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped,

when each part is working properly,

conditional

makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
