‏ Ephesians 4:8-10

8 Therefore it says,

^a“When he ascended on high ^bhe led a host of captives,
and he gave gifts to men.” ^{▼▼The Greek word anthropoi can refer to both men and women}

9 ( ^dIn saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into ^ethe lower regions, the earth? ^{▼▼Or the lower parts of the earth?} 10 He who descended is the one who also ^gascended ^hfar above all the heavens, that he might ⁱfill all things.)
